Jul 30, 2020 (Therese Pettigrew) - DDH 84-6 was located to investigate the C1/A3 conductors. The C1 anomaly is related to a mappable unit in a cherty iron formation. The unit comprises alternating grey white chert; minor grey magnetite (5-7%) and green chlorite (3-5%). Sulphides occur in bands and as disseminations in the chert, quartz veins, and quartz carbonate bands and veins. Gold values occur persistently throughout the unit. DDH B84-6 returned 0.07 oz/t Au over 5 feet including 0.13 oz/t Au over 2.2 feet from a cherty iron formation. The same drillhole also returned 0.26 oz/t Ag over 6 feet from a cherty iron formation (Assessment report 52N04NW0021).
