Aug 28, 2019 (Therese Pettigrew) - A pair of diamond drill holes were put down on this claim to test a single anomaly. Hole 23117 passed through silicified and massive to gabbroic textured mafic metavolcanics and a 1.4 m thickness (12.9-14.3 m) of both disseminated and streaky pyrite and pyrrhotite comprising about 10 percent of the rock. Drill hole 23118 intersected the same rock type with a section comprising 5.9 m (13.1-19.0 m) of sheared and silicified "greenstone" with 40 percent pyrrhotite and 10 percent pyrite and 0.25-0.5 percent thin chalcopyrite streaks (Thurston et al., 1979; Assessment report 53B09NW9440).
