Aug 25, 2017 (C Ravnaas) - Size: quartz vein with 275 ft length and up to 30 inches width. Grab samples of quartz veins from Pit E returned up to 8.94 opt Au is reported in McNeary assessment file 52F04NW EE1.
Aug 25, 2017 (Therese Pettigrew) - Several narrow but continuous gold-bearing veins, trending in a NW direction, are found on the property. These veins have little associated mineralization; generally less than 1-2% disseminated sulphides consisting of pyrite, chalcopyrite, and sphalerite. Most of the veins are associated with quartz diorite, quartz porphyry, diabase, or ultramafic flow units. A quartz carbonate zone with associated chalcopyrite and sphalerite mineralization lies along the felsic-mafic volcanic contact to the east. Gold-bearing quartz veins from 6-60 inches in width have been located on the property, returning assays as high as 2.72 oz/t Au. Visible gold has been observed in these veins (AFRI 52F04NW0008).
