In 2012 Kluane Drilling Ltd. visited the Samp prospect and collected samples showing up to 18 ppbx000D
gold, 55.5 ppm molybdenum, 129 ppm lead, 5,600 ppm silver, 840 ppm arsenic, 70 ppm bismuth,x000D
8639 ppm barium, >300 ppm tungsten, 45 ppm tin, 0.73 ppm tellurium, and 3.25 ppm thallium,x000D
including one sample containing an extremely rich 604.5 grams per tonne Au and >300 ppm silver.x000D
These numbers and other features found at the property were thought to be indicative of Carlinx000D
type mineralization.x000D
However, new research done with the support of an Engage Grant supports a completely differentx000D
mineralization scenario (intrusion-related, potentially polymetallic), and additional data are necessary to obtainx000D
results that the company can use to design an efficient and effective exploration program.x000D
The purpose of the proposed study is to test the hypothesis that the Samp prospect represents anx000D
intrusion-related deposit by mapping specific geological features and collecting samples for whole-rockx000D
geochemical assay, petrography, and electron probe microanalysis. This will expand on the mapping andx000D
mineralogical and geochemical work done in the original study and will include a detailed evaluation of allx000D
parts of the mineralizing system. The results will show if the hypothesis of an intrusion-related deposit isx000D
correct and will enable the industrial partner to design a suitable exploration program.
