Mineralization Comments

Jan 15, 2020 (Therese Pettigrew) - Magnetic and geochemical surveys were carried out over a conductive zone in metabasalt north of the east end of Helldiver Bay Two holes, intersected pyrite and pyrrhotite and traces of chalcopyrite, but the best assays were 0.25% copper, 0.08% zinc, and 0.04 ounces (1.3 grns) of silver per ton across four feet (1.2 m). A half mile (0.8 km) northwest of Helldiver Bay similar surveys were carried out; a single drill hole intersected carbonatized metavolcanics containing pyrrhotite, pyrite and traces of chalcopyrite, but base metal assays were all very low
