12/07/2011 (A Mckee) - 2000 Grab samples assays .026ppm Au, 1ppm Ag, 40-290 ppm N. Black sediment black shale v.rusty weathering sample is weathered through out, taken near what appears to be a small trench
07/15/2020 (T Pettigrew) - DDH F-58 intersected mafic metavolcanics from surface to 300 feet. From 300 to 380 feet, the hole intersected mainly cherty sediments with minor bands of iron formation and argillite. Considerable pyrrhotite and pyrite with minor chalcopyrite occurred in the sedimentary rocks. Some 5 foot sections contained up to 20% combined sulphides. The best assays from this hole were 0.10% Cu and 0.03 oz/t Ag over 2.5 feet, and 0.10%Cu and 0.04 oz/t Ag over 5 feet (Assessment report 52M01SE0204).
