Visible gold has been identified in at least eight grab samples from a trenching program in the
Intense silicification, and multiple phases of brecciation, pyritization and quartz veins are common characteristics with some veins with classic colloform-crustiform banding indicative of low sulphidation epithermal systems (Figure 2 and 3).
Based on the ice direction and significant differences in textures and vein compositions, the trenched Conquest outcrop is not the source of three large boulders with visible gold previously found approximately 350 meters to the east of the trenched location (see Company news releases dated
"We are happy with results from last week's field program: firstly, the discovery of visible gold in bedrock from multiple samples with some associated with quartz-adularia veinlets; secondly, the identification of some quite striking crustiform-colloform banded quartz veins; and thirdly, the confirmation of structural trends believed to control mineralization and their spatial correlation with a deeper, north trending, IP anomaly, interpreted to be the feeder for the mineralization. In addition, the source of visible gold bearing boulders, found to the east, remains to be found."
