Nov 22, 2014 (K R Kettles) - At this locality felsic pyroclastic rocks contain a layer of mafic rock. Bedding strikes about N 80 degs W and dips steeply north. The mafic rock has been altered to carbonate, talc, epidote, and magnetite. The mafic rocks are sheared and contain mineralized quartz stringers over a width of 1.52 m.

Mar 22, 2012 (K R Kettles) - Felsic pyroclastics contain a layer of mafic to ultramafic rock which is altered and sheared, and contains a 1.52 m wide auriferous zone. The zone consists of quartz stringers with gold, silver, minor pyrite, chalcopyrite, and magnetite. Three grab samples collected at random assayed: 0.04 OPT AU, 0.35%CU; 0.08AU, 0.90%CU; 0.16 OPT AU, 0.70% CU. 2009 Trench and grab samples taken - Trench: highest 9.7 ppm 50cm length, grab: 0.1 ppm Au 616 ppm Cu
Oct 14, 2020 (Therese Pettigrew) - DDH NBL10-011 intersected 2.60 m with an average grade of 0.754 ppm Au and 30.1 ppm Ag between 35.90 and 38.50 m. This mineralization was hosted by magnetite-rich sediments and contains elevated arsenic values (average of 682 ppm As). NBL10-017 intersected 0.30 m with a grade of 3.320 ppm Au and 5.8 ppm Ag between 15.43 and 15.73 m and 1.31 m with an average grade of 3.436 ppm Au and 45.7 ppm Ag between 25.09 and 26.40 m. The upper intersection contains elevated arsenic. The lower intersection occurs within magnetite-rich sediments. NBL10-018 intersected 0.85 m with an average grade of 5.740 ppm Au and 10.2 ppm Ag between 39.58 and 40.43 m. This mineralization was hosted by magnetite-rich sediments and contains elevated copper values, suggesting deposition by sulfide-rich fluids. NBL10-021 intersected 0.43 m with a grade of 4.12 ppm Au and 3.0 ppm Ag between 97.57 and 98.00 m. This mineralization was hosted by magnetite-rich sediments but shows neither elevated arsenic nor copper (Assessment report 20000005593). Samples taken by Goldcorp in 2005 returned up to 6.98 ppm Au, 33.4 ppm Ag, and 4520 ppm Cu (Assessment report 52M01SE2041). Samples taken by Halo in 2009 returned up to 20.09 g/t Au from Trench 1 (Assessment report 20000000105).
Dec 07, 2005 (K R Kettles) - The mafic rock has been altered to carbonate, talc, epidote, and magnetite.
