Aug 16, 2019 (A McKee) - Grab samples collected by the ODM in 1967 returned values of up to 1.9 oz/t Au, 2.85 oz/t Ag and 1.9% Cu. Grab samples collected in 1983 returned assays up to 1975 ppb Au and the best drill intersection from a drill hole completed in 1983 assayed 610 ppb Au over 5 ft (Assessment reports 53F03SE8181 and 20000004900).
Aug 16, 2019 (Therese Pettigrew) - Bennett and Riley (1969) described the showing as follows: “During 1945 and 1946 Berens River Mines Limited did surface work and diamond drilling on a number of showings located in an area between 3 to 5 miles east of the settlement of Sandy Lake and between the Stain River and Sandy Lake. The most interesting of these showings is about 4 3/4 miles east of the settlement. Here, a silicified, rusty weathering zone which has an average width of 2 1/2 to 3 feet and a maximum width of 6 feet trends S77E in pillowed mafic metavolcanics and has been traced along strike for 250 feet. Pyrite and chalcopyrite are most abundant where the zone is narrow. Two grab samples taken from this showing by the junior author during the summer of 1967 were assayed by the Laboratory Branch, Ontario Department of Mines and were found to contain 1.90 and 0.85 ounces of gold per ton, 2.85 and 1.10 ounces of silver per ton, and 1.90 and 0.87 percent copper. The zone had been trenched over most of its length. A quartz vein trending N78E, about 10 to 12 inches wide and 150 feet long is exposed by 5 old trenches about 1/4 mile southwest of the showing described above. The vein contains scattered knots and veinlets of pyrite which gave an assay of 0.2 ounces of gold per ton. The country rocks are mafic metavolcanics.”
