Historical Exploration
Five drill holes revealed a substantial tonnage of silica, as documented in BC government records.
Drilled in 1975 by Silver Standard Mines Ltd., focusing on the northwest area of the property
At least five holes were drilled on the occurrence and summarized in a memo filed with the BC government by Silver Standard which states “five holes drilled in a relatively small area indicate a substantial tonnage of silica with the following analysis: SiO2 – 99.43 percent; Fe2O3 – 0.09 percent; Al2O3 – 0.08 percent; CaO – 0.011 percent; and LOI – 0.18 percent” (Property File: PF016434.pdf )
