The junior drilled 27 holes (5,030 metres), one of which returned 16 metres grading 3 grams gold per tonne and 0.17% copper. Included in that hole was a 4.5-metre section of 7.6 grams gold and 0.4% copper.
Another hole, in a similar epidote-magnetite skarn zone, graded up to 17 grams gold and 0.6% copper over 1.7 metres. This interval is included in a wider zone grading 1.67 grams gold and 0.3% copper over 29 metres.
A previously reported hole returned 3.8 metres grading 21 grams gold and 0.56% copper (T.N.M., Dec. 7/05).
Other holes intersected silica-hematite skarn zones, the highlight being 3.8 grams gold and 0.16% copper over 6.5 metres (this interval included 1 metre grading 16.8 grams gold per tonne and 0.68% copper).
Mineralization is locally associated with pyrite-rich silicified and hematized sedimentary rocks (which generally lack lateral continuity) or with pyrite and chalcopyrite-rich breccias (which can reach a true width of 25 metres but are lower-grade).
Two holes tested strong off-hole geophysical anomalies in the Orenada 5 and Garnet zones. Both cut graphitic shales in contact with the Sullivan pluton and low, weakly anomalous gold and copper grades.
Data from this program will be used in a three-dimensional model.
