Lithology Comments

Jun 16, 2020 (Therese Pettigrew) - The quartz-feldspar-porphyry dyke noted at 1880 S, 2400 E; 1600 S, 2800 E; 700 S, 40000 E; 450 S, 4400 E, and on the north boundary between lines 5200 E and 5600 E is believed to be continous. This dyke contains much more than the normal amount of quartz and between lines 2400 E and 2800 E, contains a quartz vein observed to be 15 to 36 inches in width. Pyrite mineralization was seen in all exposures of this dyke. Pyrite, galena, and chalcopyrite were seen in several exposures between lines 2400 E and 2800 E, and pyrite and galena were noted just west of line 4000 E in the dyke (Assessment report 52F16SW0048).

Mineralization Comments

Jun 16, 2020 (Therese Pettigrew) - A grab sample returned 0.12 oz/t Au from a mafic metavolcanic tuff in contact with a quartz-feldspar-porphyry dyke, located at 25 ft east of 2050 S on line 36 E (Assessment report 52F16SW0048). Sample 2723 collected in 1985 returned trace gold, 0.6 ppm Ag, 117 ppm Cu, and 1445 ppm Zn (Assessment report 20000005237).
