Sep 30, 2019 (Therese Pettigrew) - A plan of the Creek Vein, based on the 1935 drilling data, indicates that gold values are present across widths of from less than one foot to more than 11 feet, along a minimum strike length of 700 feet. A 400-foot section of the drilled zone averages 0.189 ounces gold per ton across an average width of 6.125 feet, between 0+70E and 3+30W. Gold occurs in carbonated and silicified zones of light to intense shearing in the diorite, usually with one to 12 percent pyrite and traces of arsenopyrite. Included in these zones are, sometimes numerous, quartz and quartz-carbonate veins or veinlets along with one to plus ten percent pyrite, minor chalcopyrite, magnetite and arsenopyrite, and the occasional megascopic grain of metallic gold. Visible gold is present in hole 87-19, between 46.7 feet and 47.05 feet. DDH 35-16 assayed 0.26 oz/t Au (8.91 g/t Au) over 1.5 feet. DDH 87-24 assayed up to 0.355 oz/t Au (12.17 g/t Au) over 1.9 feet. DDH 87-32 assayed up to 0.38 oz/t Au (13.03 g/t Au) over 1.5 feet. DDH 87-34 assayed up to 0.60 oz/t Au (20.57 g/t Au) over 2 feet (Assessment report 52H09NE0004).
