Aug 14, 2014 (A Wilson) - In DDH, the highest assay result obtained was in Hoey Syndicate DDH 1 which returned 0.51 oz/ton over 20 inches at a depth of 41 feet. Re-assays of the core returned values ranging from 0.010 oz/t Au to 0.057 oz/t Au over indeterminate lengths Only 5 of the reassays returned significant values. Chip samples collected from angular boulders by W.L. Brown in 1958 averaged 1.32 oz/t Au.
Jul 18, 2006 (C Salo) - Mineralization reported in the drill hole logs includes quartz stringers and veins with disseminated sulphides including pyrite, chalcopyrite and pyrrhotite. Shearing and carbonate alteration were also noted on some drill hole logs. In ddh, the highest assay result obtained was 0.51 ounces Au per ton across 20 inches at a depth of 41 feet.
