Feb 11, 2020 (Therese Pettigrew) - Significant mineralization was cut in nine of the fourteen holes drilled in 1981 by Seagull Resources. In most cases, mineralized intersections are in the form of chalcopyrite stringer zones, with chalcopyrite forming narrow veinlets, generally along foliation, or in the matrix of breccias. In hole SG81-3, the 5 foot interval 327.3-332.7 assayed 452 ppb gold, and 22,700 ppb silver - equivalent to about 0.014 oz/ton and 0.70 oz/ton, respectively. In hole SG81-6, the interval of 5 feet from 583.0 - 588.0 assayed 26,800 ppb m silver, approximately 0.8 oz/ton Ag. DDH SG81-5 assayed up to 35.1% Zn and 1.79$ Cu over 1 foot (0.3 m) from a massive sulphide zone. Hole SG81-1 assayed 0.83% Zn and 0.45% Cu over 10 feet (3.0 m) and 1.2% Zn and 0.07% Cu over 2.2 feet (0.67 m). Hole SG81-13 assayed 2.04% Zn over 2.2 feet (0.67 m) and 0.98% Zn and 0.1% Cu over 3 feet (0.9 m) (Assessment report 52G14SE9168).
