Work History

Staked as Odd and Even cl (YA60964) in Jun/81 by DuPont, which performed limited mapping and geochem sampling later in the year.
Restaked as Max cl (YA78520) in Oct/83 by Agip Can L, which performed mapping, geochem and geophysical surveys in 1983-84 before entering a joint venture with Shakwak ECL. Shakwak explored with trenching and 4 holes (124 m) in 1984 and geochem and VLF-EM surveys in 1985. Comaplex Minerals Inc restaked the property as the Power cl (YB35484) in Oct/90 and completed a Total Magnetic Field and HLEM survey in Nov/90.
Golden Eye Mls tied on Mo cl (YA86182) to the west in Nov/84 and performed trenching in 1985. Agip and Shakwak tied on the Pie Fr cl (YA93938) in Nov/85 and explored them with bulldozer trenching and 9 diamond drill holes (365.2 m) in 1986. Agip and Shakwak staked the Kal Fr cl (YA96473) in Oct/86.
G. Lee restaked the property as the Dickson cl 1-4 (YB55291) in Nov/94. In Jun/95 Lee added Dickson cl 5-10 (YB57666) to his holdings. In Oct/95 Lee added Dickson cl 11-15 (YB66294) to his claim holdings. Between May and Oct/95 Lee carried out VLF-EM and total magnetic field geophysical surveys, trenching and rock sampling over a gridded area centred over Dickson cl 1-4. Lee staked Dickson cl 16-18 (YB95998) in Aug/96.

Capsule Geology

The Odd vein, discovered in 1983, is a quartz-calcite vein containing tetrahedrite and gold, which cuts andesite of the Triassic Lewes River Group. The vein is up to 2 m wide and has been traced on surface for 30 m. It consists mostly of milky or waxy quartz and contains chalcopyrite, tetrahedrite and pyrite, and minor galena.
The Odd vein and others on Dickson Hill strike north to northeast, and occur in metamorphosed greenstone along the Tally-Ho Shear Zone. They appear to have been metamorphosed, and Hart and Radloff (1990) found that primary inclusions failed to equilibrate at temperatures below 500° C.
The north to northeast veins are cut by younger, northwest-trending mesothermal veins which equilibrated at 263 deg C. The younger veins are distinguished from the metamorphic veins by a characteristic by wallrock alteration package consisting of carbonate or silica flooding and pyrite, and a sulphide mineral assemblage consisting of galena and chalcopyrite.
One of the 1984 drillholes intersected 46.3 g/t Au and 19.9 g/t Ag across 1.4 m. The 1986 drilling failed to intersect significant mineralization.
In 1988, two other veins were discovered 725 m northwest and 400 m north of the main vein. A bulldozer trench at the northwest location exposed a quartz vein 10 cm wide, which assayed up to 25.5 g/t Au, but a drillhole failed to intersect the vein at depth. However, another drillhole successfully intersected the northern vein which consists of quartz-calcite stringers containing 2% pyrite. The best assay from these quartz-calcite stringers was 6.2 g/t Au over 2.5 cm.
The 1990 HLEM survey outlined two weak anomalies striking northwest, which appear to coincide with the known gold mineralization. A strong magnetic survey south of the known mineralization is thought to reflect a magnetite-rich unit such as Tally-Ho Leucogabbro.
Lee's geophysical surveys outlined the broad trend of the known fault zone. Lee excavated 10 trenches along the fault zone and sampled those trenches where mineralization was visible. Assay samples returned low values in gold and silver with the exception of trench 95DH09752007R which returned 48.68 g/t Ag and 6.65 g/t Au. Lee recommended following the fault north with geophysical and geochemical surveys. Lee also recommended either drilling a shallow diamond drill hole or driving a short exploration drift into the original discovery vein on Dickson cl 1-2 to determine the grade and continuity of the vein.
