Jun 30, 2020 (Therese Pettigrew) - A NE-trending granodiorite dyke averaging 100 ft. (30.5 m) in width traced for a length of 2,000 ft. (609.6 m), contains low concentrations of gold mineralization in the walls of quartz-filled tension fractures. Similar mineralization found in parallel dike to the NE which was traced for 1,000 ft.
