Qualified comments: |
(Applies to: geochemistry) Assays are from a soil sample.
(Applies to: mineralization) Iron formation with quartz boudins - rusty soil.
(Applies to: mineralization) Gold is associated with arsenopyrite and pyrite in quartz-amphibole+/- biotite, chlorite (?) schist and gneiss and has a close spatial relationship with oxide iron formation. |
