Dec 07, 2005 (K R Kettles) - Anomalous gold values occur in a narrow zone of altered mafic volcanics containing up to 30% quartz-carbonate veinlets. Ore minerals are gold with minor pyrite, pyrrhotite, and sphalerite. Anomalous gold values were obtained from one narrow section of drill core from hole #80-3. The interval from 169.3 to 169.9 m assayed 0.40 dwt/ton Au.
Dec 07, 2005 (K R Kettles) - The mafic flows have been chloritized, and contain numerous quartz-carbonate veinlets.
