Nov 12, 2014 (K R Kettles) - In hole K-69-2 narrow zones contain anomalous silver values including the following: from 28.33 to 29.28 m - 0.72 oz/t Ag; from 29.28 to 32.30 m - 0.32 oz/t Ag; from 51.94 to 54.63 m - 0.60 oz/t Ag; from 67.71 to 68.63 m - 0.54 oz/t Ag. These zones may represent the same structures intersected in drill hole #K-69-1(MDI 52N04SE00154). 2005: drill holes near the area best assays returned 639 ppb Au over .07 m.
Dec 07, 2005 (K R Kettles) - The mafic metavolcanics have been silicified and carbonatized, and are locally biotitic and garnetiferous.
