Nov 08, 2022 (Therese Pettigrew) - Sulphide mineralization occurs in thin seams parallel to the bedding planes, and in shears and cross-fractures along a zone traced 500 feet. Drill core showed sulphide minerals in dolomite and limestone laminae. Minerals are pyrite, pyrrhotite, chalcopyrite, and minor galena (SMDR 00541).
Nov 08, 2022 (Q Unknown) - 1968 drill results: best intersection assayed 0.04% Cu, 1.04% Zn and 0.02% Ni over 1.2 m. Mineralization included pyrite, pyrrhotite, chalcopyrite and minor galena. Chip samples assayed: 1.25% Cu over 3.7 m; 1.49% Cu over 2.4 m. 1995 grab samples assayed as high as 1,600 ppm Cu.
