Oct 10, 2017 (R Tuomi) - Best intersection from the 1956 drill program assayed 0.31% Cu and 0.19% Ni over 0.5 m. Mineralization included pyrrhotite, chalcopyrite and pyrite.
Oct 10, 2017 (Therese Pettigrew) - The Green Bay Mining No. 1 showing occurs near the contact between gabbro and basalt, close to the swampy shore of East Bay. The gabbro is medium- to coarse-grained, with coarse blebs of pyrrhotite and chalcopyrite, the latter rimming the former in places. Sulphide minerals locally constitute up to 10% of the gabbro (Davies, 1973).
