07/29/2019 (T Pettigrew) - The Main trench exposes a well-developed, shear-hosted quartz vein system within a mafic pillowed flow. The quartz veins strike approximately 042 degrees. Local folding and minor brittle displacement of the quartz veins is evident on an outcrop scale, suggesting a post quartz-vein-emplacement deformational event(s). Sulphides within the quartz veins consist of disseminated to blebby arsenopyrite, pyrite, and chalcopyrite. Local shear-hosted sulphides are also present adjacent to quartz veins and consist of fracture filling and wispy pyrite and chalcopyrite mineralization (Assessment report 20000002796). The Main zone is composed of 4 veins with a strike length of 85 m. The veins are subparallel in a 4.5 m wide zone. Vein #3 was the best vein with a 32 m length and 0.5 m width, averaging 3.73 g/t Au and 8.7 g/t Ag (Assessment report 52N07SE0038). DDH JG-87-1 intersected 12.44 g/t Ag over 1.07 m. DDH JG-87-2 intersected 2.04 oz/t over 5’ (63.4 g/t Ag over 1.5 m), 1.66 oz/t Ag over 5’ (51.6 g/t Ag over 1.5 m), 1.04 oz/t Ag over 4’ (32.3 g/t Ag over 1.2 m), 1.39 oz/t Ag over 5’ (43.2 g/t Ag over 1.5 m) and 1.56 oz/t Ag over 5’ (48.5 g/t Au over 1.5 m) (Assessment report 52N07SE0022). Assays from the 2007 channel sampling program ranged from 1.005 ppm Au over 0.5 m to 24.8 ppm Au over 0.5 m (Assessment report 20000002796).
