Geology Comments

Dec 07, 2005 (A Mitchell) - Diamond drill holes B-44-72-6, B-44-73-7 and b-44-72-9 intersected several narrow intervals of base metal sulphide mineralization in a succession of metasediments. The concentratinos of base metal sulphides occur in rocks described as black argillaceous sediments. The base metal sulphides reported are, in decreasing aboundace: sp, cp, and gl. These are associated with larger concentration of po and py.

The concentratinos of base metal sulphides occur in rocks described as black argillaceous sediments. The base metal sulphides reported are, in decreasing aboundace: sp, cp, and gl. These are associated with larger concentration of po and py. No assays were reported for this occurrence. The log for ddh B-44-72-7 reocords a 4c cm interval of 50-60% sulphides. The sulphides were 80% po, 10% py, 5-8% sp with traces of cp and gl.



Alteration Comments

Dec 07, 2005 (A Mitchell) - No alteration given.
