Lithology Comments

Nov 22, 2014 (A Wilson) - This location exhibits a very broad area of pyritic mineralization in sheared and variably siliceous tuffaceous graywacke. There is a folded chert-fuchsite zone in the vicinity, but 1990 trenching was carried out wholly within the mineralized greywacke

The Cu content is low, and the highest gold value reported was 0.02 oz/t Au. NE-trending faulting and a zone of high conductivity lie to the south of the trenched area. The maximum value of assays from samples collected from the trench returned 1.127% Pb, 0.61% Zn, 0.03% Cu, 1.46 oz/t Ag and 0.022 oz/t Au.
