Mar 29, 2018 (Therese Pettigrew) - Three areas outlined 2499.4 m by 121.9 to 304.8 m, 487.7 m by 152.4 to 487.7 m, 396.2 m by 30.5 to 183.9 m within which 28.6, 31.7 and 34.7 m of magnetite taconite were intersected in drilling. Trench samples assayed 29.1 to 38.3% Fe and 94 feet of drill core assayed 287o total Fe or 24% sol.Fe. Tests on a 20 lb sample containing 43.5% Fe gave a 62.6% Fe concentrate at -325M with 75.6% Fe recovery (Shklanka, 1968).
