Dec 07, 2005 (B Nelson) - Diamond-drill holes M-86-05 and M-86-11 intersected gold-bearing quartz vein mineralization in a mafic metavolcanic flow. The 2 diamond-drill holes were spotted on sections 25 m apart. Diamond-drill hole M-86-05 intersected a 7 cm grey quartz vein containing 12 specks of visible gold. The drill log does not specifically describe the wall rock to the vein. Diamond-drill hole M-16-11 intersected a 16 cm blue-grey quartz vein containing 10 specks of visible gold. The rock for about 30 cm above the vein is described in the diamond-drill log as a carbonate altered mafic metavolcanic. The rock for about 20 cm below the vein is described as a carbonate-biotite-chlorite alteration zone. There is a 4 cm grey quartz stringer with possible visible gold within the lower alteration zone.
