Nov 27, 2017 (Therese Pettigrew) - Cominco had a sample on the Tak showing that returned an assay of 9500 ppb Au (AFRI 52F16NE8244). Triex’s 1998 sample program returned values of 228-20,609 ppb Au and 207-6228 ppm Cu from quartz-Fe carbonate veins (AFRI 52G13NW2001). The Wedge Occurrence is described as a strongly altered (silica and Fe-carbonate +/- sericite and mariposite) contact zone between mafic metavolcanics and the quartz-feldspar porphyry, comprising numerous, variably oriented gold- and base metal-bearing (pyrite, chalcopyrite, galena) quartz and quartz-Fe-carbonate veins which vary in width from 1 to 80 cm. Individual veins can be traced along strike for 20 m. Locally the veins comprises moderate stockworks dominant vein orientation appears to be 055/50. Several shallowly-dipping to flat-lying veins also occur. Gold is preferentially concentrated in the strongly altered vein host rocks where it appears to be associated with coarse- to very coarse-grained euhedral pyrite. Shallow blast pits, trenches, and stripped areas intermittently expose the alteration and mineralization over an area approximately 30 m wide by 150 m long (AFRI 52F16NE2003).
