Mar 30, 2007 (Mark Puumala) - This occurrence is based upon the reported occurrence of anomalous copper and gold assays in a diamond drill hole (ddh No. 1) advanced at this location in 1960 by Castlebar Silver and Cobalt Mines/Sulmac Exploration Services (AFRI# 52O12SE0027). Mineralization is reported to occur in medium-grained diorite that is cut by a 3 mm wide quartz stringer containing pyrite, and possible chalcopyrite. The diamond drill hole log also indicates that the drill hole was advanced to test a surface quartz vein that was mineralized with Molybdenite.
