Jul 14, 2020 (Andrew Tims) - The quartz vein / shear is less well defined. The heavily mineralized sheared host rock is often found to carry significantly higher gold values then the quartz vein material within the shear, suggesting quartz veining occurred at a different time than the shearing and gold-mineralizing event.
Jul 14, 2020 (A McKee) - 1989: DDH LL-89-11 AT 43.5M produced 8.40 g/t Au over 1.3 m (Assessment report 52L16NE0020). 2010 - Grab Sample: 2.23 ppm Au. Gold mineralization in smokey quartz and highly altered mafic wall rock. Wall rock is As-Py rich, grading up to 8.2 g/t Au and 2.14% (21,400 ppm) As.
Jul 14, 2020 (Therese Pettigrew) - The best assay from the 2008 channel sampling program was 1.55 g/t Au over 1.2 m from an amphibole-rich rhyolite tuff (Assessment report 20000003337).
