Drill core examples from Holes 7 and 8, showing two styles of mineralization with anomalous gold at the 6-channel EM anomaly from a 1980’s OGS survey that is coincident with a DIGHEM conductivity anomaly from VR’s 2023 survey. The upper photo shows widespread chlorite-sericite-carbonate alteration with finely disseminated sulfides and quartz-carbonate veining related to intense shearing in feldspar porphyry and mafic volcanic rocks of the Lac des Mille Lacs greenstone belt. The lower photo shows a pyrite-chalcopyrite quartz vein breccia with chlorite-sericite selvages.
