are listed in Appendix I to this report. Work completed during the reporting<br />

period may be described as follows:<br />

Conductor Area: A total of seven prospect pits were blasted and excavated<br />

in the sandy and somewhat wet soil over the conductive area. These pits<br />

measured approximately 5'x 5'x 4', and were sited in locations thought<br />

most likely to contain bedrock relatively close to surface. All failed<br />

to reach bedrock, however, yielding only some angular boulders of amphibolitic<br />

basalt containing traces of pyrite. These were sampled as thought<br />

appropriate, but cannot be considered as representative of the conductive<br />

medium.<br />

Stringer Zone; The stripping in the Stringer Zone area exposed the highly<br />

sheared and crenulated contact zone between volcanics and metasediments<br />

over a strike distance of approximately 200 feet. Quartz veining and<br />

fuchsite bands occur strongly developed along this contact, but pyrite<br />

and chalcopyrite mineralization is of sporadic distribution and generally<br />

of low tenor. Some additional sampling of the new exposures was carried<br />

out.<br />

North zone: Stripping and cleaning of exposures were carried out in and<br />

around the old trench locations in the North Zone area. In this location<br />

very strong quartz veining is evident, in excess of 20 feet in width, and<br />

highly siliceous material in close proximity to the quartz carried heavy<br />

pyrrhotite mineralization with lesser pyrite and chalcopyrite. The host<br />

rock appears to be amphibolitic basalt, and it is presumed that the extensive<br />

quartz veining is largely concentrated in fold structures within the<br />

basalt. In that only marginal conductivity was indicated in this area by<br />

the VLF-EM survey, it is believed that the strong sulphide concentrations<br />

noted in this vicinity are of limited extent. Some additional sampling<br />

was carried out in the expanded trench areas.<br />
