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 />
