Mineralization Comments

Feb 11, 2010 (K R Kettles) - Sampling of the vein has reportedly yielded encouraging values in gold.


Dec 17, 2020 (Therese Pettigrew) - Drilling by Wilson Red Lake Gold Mines had indicated a value of $15.40/1.0’ ($35.00 gold) (15.08 g/t Au over 0.3 m) in hole B-3 drilled within the granodiorite zone to the north. Field examination of this granodiorite has shown several low gold bearing quartz veins mineralized with pyrite (Assessment report 20000005459).
