8.0 CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS<br />
Hole No. PR-91-1 on grid A-3 investigated the coincident HEM,<br />
magnetic and gold in humus geochemical anomaly. The magnetic<br />
conductor is caused by ID-15% disseminated pyrrhotite, minor<br />
pyrite and traces of chalcopyrite over a width of 1.62<br />
metres in<br />
a cherty banded tuff. The gold and copper assays of the core are<br />
very low. The gold in humus geochemical anomaly of seven times<br />
background over the conductor is unexplained.<br />
Hole No. PR-91-2 on grid A-8-9 explored the coincident weak HEM<br />
and gold in humus geochemical anomaly. The weak conductor is<br />
caused by 2-3% disseminated pyrite over a width of 5.85 metres in<br />
a banded intermediate to mafic tuff. The gold in humus<br />
geochemical anomaly of eight times background is unexplained.<br />
Hole No. PR-91-3 on grid A-6-7 investigated the strong HEM<br />
anomaly on line 1+OOE. The conductor is caused by three<br />
bands of<br />
sulphide-magnetite-cherty iron formation over widths of 0.5 to<br />
2.13 metres in amphibolitic basalt. The cherty iron formation<br />
contains 15% pyrrhotite and 20% magnetite. The best assay of<br />
cherty iron formation is 306 ppb Au over 0.91 metres. This drill<br />
hole is a follow-up to hole No. PR-90-1 on section 2+OOW which<br />
returned an assay of 396 ppb over a metre. The assays from the<br />
two holes 300 metres apart are comparable but weak.
