Sep 15, 2020 (Therese Pettigrew) - The A Copper Zone is an area of 0.5% to 7% disseminated and stringer chalcopyrite mineralization assaying up to 1.47% (grab sample 54828) hosted in an evolved anorthosite sill a minimum 7m wide trending 075/85 degrees S, and in underlying altered basalts. Contact mineralization contains 3-5% chalcopyrite. Specks of chalcopyrite and malachite staining were noted through the entire exposed anorthosite unit. Two chip channel samples taken from this zone returned a weighted average of 2427 ppm Cu and 52 ppb Au over 3.5 m, and 9392 ppm Cu and 184 ppb Au across 1m (including 2.09% Cu across 0.3 m). Both samples returned low Ni values and nil to very low Pt and Pd assays (Assessment report 52C16SW2008).
