02/24/2020 (T Pettigrew) - The southern portion of the property is primarily underlain by strongly deformed quartz-biotite schist and gneiss, derived from turbiditic wacke and siltstone. These rocks are crosscut by strongly boudinaged leucogranitic pegmatite, fine- to coarse-grained granite and granodiorite dykes, and very fine to fine-grained pinkish aplite dykes. Strongly deformed, often narrow quartz stringers, veinlets, and veins are very common. The northern portion of the property is underlain by weakly foliated quartz monzonite. All observed rock-types are locally crosscut by north trending, medium- to locally coarse-grained diabase dykes of mid- to late-Proterozoic age (Assessment report 20000003571).

02/24/2020 (T Pettigrew) - A short distance south of the contact between the metasedimentary rocks and the quartz monzonite there occurs a zone, striking at approximately 260°, where the pegmatite dykes and quartz veins often contain localized concentrations of finely disseminated to coarsely blebby molybdenite and sometimes chalcopyrite. The chalcopyrite is most commonly observed within quartz veins (Assessment report 20000003571). The pegmatites contain visible molybdenum and have returned assays of up to 0.33% MoS2 over 4.3’ at the No. 1 Showing, 0.28% MoS2 over 3.5’ at the No. 2 showing, 0.56% MoS2 over 6’ at the No. 3 showing, 0.30% MoS2 over 4’ at the No. 4 showing, and 1.78% MoS2 and 0.46% Cu over 2’ at the No. 5 showing (Thunder Bay Assessment files). Samples taken by Golden Tiger in 1984 did not return significant gold values. Sample 44 returned 0.125% Mo, 0.08% Cu, and 0.01 opt Ag (Assessment report 52A15SW0001). Samples collected by K. Fenwick and K. Bjorkman returned up to 473 ppm W, 6007 ppm Sn, 0.397 ppm Re, and over 1 % Mo. Samples collected by Magma Metals returned up to 19,200 ppm Mo and 6320 ppm Cu. Sample 312067 returned 34.9 ppm Ag, >10,000 ppm Mo, and 637 ppm Cu. Most samples returned less than 10 ppm Ag (Assessment report 20000003571).
