Mineralization Comments

Nov 27, 2017 (Therese Pettigrew) - Porphyry Cu zones also contain: up to 0.01 opt Au and 0.01% MoS2 in some sections. 1971 numerous wide sections: best average is 0.3% Cu/70.3 ft (30-2), others 0.313% Cu/17.4 ft (3) and 0.257% Cu/56.3 ft (9). North of the QFP Zone, in DDH 30-4, assays from bands of andesitic tuffs with porphyry intermixed returned values of 0.57% Cu over 11.5 ft. In DDH 30-13, in a gabbro, assays returned up to 0.56% Cu over 13.5 ft (AFRI 52F16NE8302). Triex’s 1998 sampling program returned assays of 110-293 ppb Au (AFRI 52G13NW2001).
