Geology Comments

Dec 07, 2005 (B Nelson) - Occurrence grade gold, copper and zinc intersections were cut in 6 drill holes located on the north side of the small lake located 1.75 km east of Graniteboss Lake. All 6 holes cut a succession of mafic metavolcanics containing interlayers of graphitic metasediments and semi-massive to massive sulphides. The succession is cut by many shear zones, feldspar porphyry and quartz-feldspar porphyry dykes. The intersections are discussed by drill hole: C-89-2: This hole cut, down-dip, a narrow quartz vein (131.06 m to 132.89 m) in a carbonatized mafic metavolcanic at the contact with a quartz-feldspar porphyry dyke. The vein contained abundant visible gold and blebs of pyrite, sphalerite and galena. Further down the hole (175.41 m to 175.75 m) a sheared graphite metasediment returned an occurrence grade zinc assay. C-89-3: This hole cut, down-dip, several narrow quartz veins (77.72 m to 78.33 m). The vein occurs in a carbonatized mafic metavolcanic and contains visible gold, pyrite and sphalerite. C-89-6: This hole intersected a 1.5 cm thick gold-bearing quartz vein (130.85 m to 130.97 m) in a carbonatized mafic metavolcanic. A sheared graphitic metasediment containing chalcopyrite, pyrrhotite and pyrite was intersected at 27.67 m to 28.28 m. C-89-7: This hole intersected a sheared graphitic metasediment containing 2% to 3% pyrite and streaks of chalcopyrite at 52.97 m to 53.43 m. C-89-8: This hole intersected a 7 cm gold-bearing quartz vein in a carbonatized mafic metavolcanic at 117.04 m to 117.13 m. The vein contained 1% to 2% disseminated euhedral pyrite. C-89-9: This hole intersected a 7 cm gold-bearing quartz vein at 97.23 m to 97.35 m in a carbonatized mafic metavolcanic.
