PREVIOUS WORK
Local historical productions in the 1950’s mined high-grade material averaging 7-20 g/t Au, 300 g/t Ag, 10-20% Pb and 5% Zn, for which mineralized bodies were traced for at least 80 m depth within oxides (Yantis, 1957). Since then, only small exploration programs have occurred including more recent work by Paget Mineral Exploration Company and Millrock Resources with sampling programs yielding up to 22.5 g/t Au and multiple high-grade polymetallic samples over the project area. The presence of many high-grade areas in addition to the thickness of the host rock and extent of the system across multiple known historic mines suggests an extensive system exits in this district.
