Mar 13, 2014 (Syed Ali) - GRADE - 1938 - 4 SHALLOW DDH'S: GOLD AT $35/OZ: $1.05/2 FT, $8.40/2 FT, $4.90/1 FT, $7.10/3 FT, GRADE - 1985-86 DDH: SEVERAL INTERSECTIONS UP TO 3.13 OPT AU/0.91 M. Grab sample take by Tashota-Nipigon assayed 2.31 oz/t Au. Sample taken by Tashota-Nipigon from the quartz-carbonate vein at the Fault Zone structure assayed 0.08 oz/t Au. Sample taken by M.A. Terrell from the quartz vien showning at KRL 746312 were 0.033 and 0.011 oz/t Au
Jun 13, 2019 (Therese Pettigrew) - The Milberry vein strikes N28°E and can be traced for a length of 228.7 m according to Kuryliw (1971). Thomson (1938) reported the following assays: $1.05 over 0.6 m, $8.40 over 0.6 m, $4.90 over 0.3 m, and $7.10 over 0.9 m (gold at $35/oz). The vein is closely associated with, and may be a lean portion of, a band of oxide facies iron formation found to the west of the lake (Thurston, 1985). The 1986 drill program returned values up to 0.68 g/t Au (0.02 oz/t Au). Most assays were trace to 0.01 oz/t Au (0.34 g/t Au; Assessment file 52N02SE9910).
May 09, 2023 (Paul Malegus) - Raingold has been identified ~100 m to the north, based on diamond drilling in 2021, though only encountered anomalous gold. Additionally, channel sampling in 2020 and 2021 across the mineralized structure returned results of 31.2 g/t Au over 2.3 m, 29.8 g/t Au over 1.9 m and 5.4 g/t Au over 2.65 m. Mineralization is hosted within quartz veins and/or veinlets (Argo Gold, news release, October 15, 2021).
May 09, 2023 (Paul Malegus) - Weak to Strong Ankerite alteration typically associated with mineralization.
