The target at Amsel is gold and silver in epithermal quartz vein breccia stockworks. In this sample, secondary potassium feldspar crystals and sericite-altered clasts of rhyolite are set in a comb/cockade textured breccia matrix of secondary quartz and sericite with open space vugs lined by silica and fine-grained pyrite. The sericite and potassium feldspar relate to the 2 x 3 km radiometric anomaly at Amsel, the secondary silica relates to the high resistivity anomalies, and the 1-5% fine-grained pyrite relates to the chargeability anomalies.
