Mar 25, 2014 (Syed Ali) - GRADE 1974: OGS CHIP SAMPLES ASSAY UP TO 0.07 OPT AU, GRADE 1987: SEVERAL DDH'S, BEST SECTION AT 174.5 FT ASSAYS 0.12 OPT AU/5 FT (S87-01). Shabu Gold Mines - intersected 0.078 oz/t Au across 24.8 ft., 4 other narrow intersections assayed up to 0.06 oz/t Au, silver values as high as 1.83 oz/t Ag across 17.5 ft.,
Aug 14, 2020 (Therese Pettigrew) - A shear zone explored by Prospectors Airways Ltd. in the late 1930s was noted to contain 20% brown weathering carbonate, sericite, and 2-3% pyrite. The shear zone is located within the biotite-hornblende granodiorite near the contact with mafic metavolcanics. The zone of gold mineralization is associated with the alteration zone (Assessment report 52N07SW0003). DDH S87-09 returned 0.17 oz/t Au over 2.7 feet (5.8 g/t Au over 0.82 m) and 0.25 oz/t Au over 1.5 feet (8.57 g/t Au over 0.46 m). DDH S87-13 returned 1.13 oz/t Ag over 5 feet (38.7 g/t Ag over 1.5 m). DDH S87-14 returned 0.61 oz/t Ag over 20.2 feet, including 1.07 oz/t Ag over 5 feet (36.7 g/t Ag over 1.5 m). DDH S87-21 returned up to 0.06 oz/t Au over 1.6 feet (2.05 g/t Au over 0.5 m) (Assessment report 52N07SW0004).
