04/15/2020 (T Pettigrew) - Sample 1007 assayed 0.062 oz/t Au (2.0 g/t Au) from a shear zone, oriented 020 degrees and 50 m wide. The shear itself is a parallel-sided depression with no outcrop. The walls to the shear from which the samples were taken, are extensively veined in quartz and carbonate. Pyrite and chalcopyrite may be associated with the quartz (Assessment report 52J02SE8678). Host rocks in the South Structure consist of very fine-grained and massive andesite flows (Assessment report 52J02SE2102).
