Drill core from hole SR20-27 – Textural example of high-grade gold mineralization present within the O-zone – sections of the core sample above graded 109.4 g/t gold and 32.4 g/t silver over 2.53 metres. Throughout the interval intense chlorite alteration has destroyed original textures in the host andesite, minor patchy sericite occurs along shear surfaces, and quartz-carbonate veining and alteration are present throughout the interval. Sulphides (20% pyrite, 8% pyrrhotite, 0.1% galena) are blebby, or occur in elongate lenses that are generally aligned with shear fabric. Zones of semi-massive sulphide (lower row), contain ~ 45% pyrite, 20% pyrrhotite, and have been subjected to intense shearing. For scale, drill core is approximately 50 mm in diameter.
