Dec 07, 2005 (K R Kettles) - Anomalous gold values occur in a unit of sulphide iron formation containing irregular bands of pyrrhotite with cherty blue quartz. In drilling, 2 narrow sections of core contained anomalous gold values. From hole #80-2 the values are: 68.0 to 69.7 m - 0.60 dwt/ton Au (0.933 g/t Au); from 79.0 to 79.6 m - 0.20 dwt/ton Au (0.3 g/t Au).
