Apr 16, 2013 (Shannon Zurevinski) - JF Scott Field Visit (2011): 15U 674379.88 5380963 OGS Map M2622 #57: 10500 ppm Cu


Sep 27, 2018 (Therese Pettigrew) - Andover traced the zone for a length of about 396.24 m along an easterly strike. Chalcopyrite and pyrite are found as stringers and disseminations in felsic and mafic metavolcanic rocks, chert, diorite, and syenite. Brecciated felsic metavolcanics appear to be the most favourable host rock. There is a surface showing of chalcopyrite in a strongly sheared mafic metavolcanic, with a width of 0.9-1.5 m. Holes drilled on the showing assayed up to 1.10% Cu and 0.03 opt Au (Giblin, 1964). DDH BU08-10 assayed 1.065 gpt Au over 1.15 m and 1.682 gpt Au over 1.45 m. DDH BU08-11 assayed 1.677 gpt Au over 1.45 m, 1.442 gpt Au over 1.85 m, and 1.076 gpt Au over 1 m. DDH BU08-12 assayed 4635 ppm Cu over 1.5 m, and 4083 ppm cu over 1.0 m (AFRI 200000045440).
