Oct 23, 2007 (Mark Puumala) - Ayres (1974) reports the occurrence of anomalous zinc mineralization at this location in a 1.8 m thick argillite unit that contains up to 3% sphalerite and 3 to 5% pyrrhotite and pyrite. The sulphide mineralization occurs as thin films and veinlets along bedding planes. Ayres (1974) indicates that the occurrence is located near the top of an intermediate metavolcanic formation. Other lithologies that were mapped by Ayres (1974) in the exploration trench at this location included mafic agglomerate, sericite-quartz schist (likely altered felsic metavolcanics), and a quartz vein. The quartz vein strikes approximately east, is concordant with the stratigraphy and is mineralized with 5 to 30% pyrite, 2 to 10% arsenopyrite and rare chalcopyrite. The sulphides are reported to occur in erratically-distributed blebs and veinlets. The quartz vein has been observed in outcrop approximately 30 m to the east of the trench, where it is not as well mineralized. The most significant grab sample assay reported from this occurrence by Ayres (1974) was 1.35% Zn from the sphalerite mineralized argillite. Only low copper and gold values (0.1% and 0.01 oz/ton respectively) were reported from samples collected from the pyrite and arsenopyrite mineralized quartz vein.
Jul 30, 2020 (Therese Pettigrew) - Sampling done in 1982 returned 0.01 oz/t Au (0.34 g/t Au) and 0.07 oz/t Ag (2.4 g/t Ag) (Assessment report 20000004859).
