5.2 Property Mineralization
Vary little outcrop has been observed on the property. The
airborne geophysics indicates the rocks in the central portion of
the property have been depleted in iron probably due to the
closeness of the granodiorite pluton.
The Hepburn Fault Zone traverses the central part of the property
at 40 degrees and dips northeast at 70 degrees. In hole No. RR-
90-1 the fault is a highly altered shear zone over a width of 50
metres. The hangingwall and footwall of the shear zone contain
numerous narrow grey feldspar porphyry dikes. The alteration
consists of silicification, pyritization (2-4%) and garnetization
(3%). A whole rock analysis and an ICP analysis of one sample
from DDH No. RR-90-1 from 171.69 to 172.39 metres (sample No.
9770) indicated high silica (71*), alumina (12.6*) and ferrie
iron (4.09*). High trace elements are chromium (458ppm), barium
(869ppm), zirconium (196ppm), Y (45ppm), SR (90ppm) RB (39ppm)
and NB (32ppm). The gold assays from the drill core were very low
with a peak value of 12 ppb.
Grab samples from outcrop on line 46E at 2+62N returned values of
96 and 41 ppb Au. The outcrop is strongly sheared with strong
silicification, pyritization (3-5*) and contains banded quartz.
A whole rock and an ICP analysis of this sample No. 2 indicated
high silica (75.69*) and ferrie iron (12.15*); and low in soda
