Mineralization Comments

Aug 15, 2019 (Therese Pettigrew) - A six-inch wide quartz vein striking N30W in coarse-grained mafic metavolcanics about 0.5 mile north of Lingman Lake was found to contain specks of molybdenite. A grab sample gave an assay of 0.12% molybdenum and trace amounts of gold and silver. No other sulphides were visible in the vein (Riley and Bennett, 1969).
