Nov 27, 2017 (Therese Pettigrew) - Local geology is predominated by a 2 km x 4 km oval shaped quartz feldspar porphyry which grades locally and on the southern margin to a feldspar-quartz porphyry. This porphyry intrudes mafic metavolcanic flows and tuffs. A conglomerate composed of detritus from the porphyry separates the NE flank of the porphyry from the metavolcanics (AFRI 52F16NE8244).

Nov 27, 2017 (C Ravnaas) - Triex Resources assessment file 52F16NE 0060 indicates grab samples that returned 0.11 oz/T Au, 0.26 oz/T Ag and 2.56% Cu.
Nov 27, 2017 (Therese Pettigrew) - Chalcopyrite with minor malachite occurs in shear zones and fractures at angles to the shearing. The mineralization in these widespread shear zones is found in silicified, carbonatized, and locally pyritiferous quartz porphyry which underlies Pickerel Arm and its shores (Shklanka, 1969). Mineralization occurs over an area of at least 4000 x 2000 feet, however most of this area is overlain by water. Diamond drilling in 1956 indicated only low copper values (Thomson et al., 1957). Pyritized shear zones also occur on the north shore of Pickerel Arm. The zone of shearing occurs near the contact of mafic metavolcanics with rocks that resemble adjacent quartz porphyry but which are probably arkose and grit. The shear zones continue NE in the metavolcanics along this shore for some distance and are pyritized locally over widths of more than 10 feet. In addition to pyrite, small amounts of pyrrhotite and rare chalcopyrite were also observed (Johnston, 1969). Triex’s Sample 34000 returned an assay of 5747 ppb Au (AFRI 52G13NW2001). Triex’s Malachite Showing, located at Zone 15, 567171 m E, 5535160 m N, returned assays of 801-2010 ppb Au, 9-49 ppm Ag, and 3982->10,000 ppm Cu. Triex’s Samples 33982 to 33992, located from 390 m west of the Malachite Showing over to the Campbell Showing, returned assays of 60-293 ppb Au and 2527-13,591 ppm Cu (0.25-1.36% Cu) (AFRI 52G13NW2001). The best assay results from Dome’s 1971 drill program included: DDK 30-2: 0.64% Cu and 0.01 opt Au over 8.2 feet, DDH 30-4: 0.57% Cu over 11.5 feet, DDK 30-9: 0.50% Cu over 6.3 feet, and DDH 30-13: 0.56% Cu over 13.5 feet (AFRI 52F16NE0017). The best drill intersection from Cominco’s 1983 drilling was 2000 ppb Au over 1.5 m in hole 83-5 (AFRI 52F16NE0017).
