Nov 07, 2014 (A Wilson) - Mineralization included pyrite, pyrrhotite, chalcopyrite and malachite. Chip samples assayed: 0.2% Cu over 3.7m; 1.75% Cu and 0.04% Au over 51cm; 0.75% Cu and 1.19% Ni over 117cm. Grab samples assayed up to 2.83% Cu.
Nov 04, 2022 (Therese Pettigrew) - At both showings, Cu-Ni mineralization is localized in the vicinity of a contact between metadiabase and basic metavolcanics, both of Early Precambrian age. At the east showing, disseminated pyrite, pyrrhotite, chalcopyrite, and malachite were noted from sheared, gossan-covered outcrops. Best samples returned 0.75% Cu, 1.19% Nii across 44", along with some low gold values and two silver assays of 4 oz and 1.6 oz/t Ag (SMDR 00519).
