Aug 15, 2014 (A Wilson) - Polymetallic pyrite-sphalerite-chalcopyrite-galena mineralization occurs within muscovite-sericite schists and quartzofeldspathic mica schists in the Melchett property. Numerous trench and drill zones(from previous exploration) as well as gossaned outcrops delineate at least two favourable zones of mineralization.
