Work History
Staked as part of a large block of Angie cl (YA20427) in Jun/77 by the Woodside Project (Getty and Welcome North), which explored with mapping, geochem, mag and EM surveys in 1977 and 1978 plus hand trenching in 1977, bulldozer trenching in 1978, and 3 drill holes (269 m) in 1979.
Restaked as within a large block of WLN cl 16-75 (YB10624) in Dec/87 by Welcome North Mines Ltd which carried out airborne geophysical surveying, prospecting and geochemical soil sampling in 1988.
Restaked by S. Ryan as Angie claims in 2008 and optioned by Full Metal Minerals who performed soil and rock sampling in 2008.
Capsule Geology
Sphalerite, pyrite and a trace of galena occur as fine-grained stratiform disseminations and fracture fillings up to 10 cm thick, in a 24 m thick sequence of Devonian carbonaceous limestone and calcareous siltstone. Trenching traced the zone for a strike length of 275 m and gave chip sample assays ranging from 6.0% Zn and 29.2 g/t Ag across 1.8 m to 8.4% Zn and 106.3 g/t Ag across 4.6 m. Native silver and smithsonite are also present. The best drill intersections were 8.5% Zn and 61.7 g/t Ag across 6.4 m and 4.0% Zn and 30.2 g/t Ag across 0.9 m. Over 40 small showings of smithsonite, sphalerite and pyrite were found nearby but all gave disappointing assays.
Soil sampling in 2008 uncovered a 5000 m long zinc anomaly (>1000 ppm Zn) over the Angie block. Silver soil values ranged from 0.3 to 10.3 g/t Ag. In the southeast part of the claim block (Nebocat), Full Metals outlined multiple lead, zinc, silver anomalies in soils centred on a 200 m long outcrop of SEDEX-style massive sulphides, including coarse pyrite, sphalerite and galena. Rock samples collected at Nebocat ranged from 0.1 to 12.7% Zn, 0.7 to 57.6% Pb and 7.2 to 339 g/t Ag. A new occurrence of SEDEX-style mineralized boulders with massive sphalerite and galena was discovered at the 1300 m long Keats prospect.
