The Fly Lake zone was tested by 4 drill holes by St Joseph Minerals in 1976 over a 50 metre length. Pistol Bay’s VTEM PLUS survey gave a well-defined response on 2 lines, indicating a length of up to 400 metres. Results of the St Joseph drilling include:
DDH 3197-2-79: 0.60 m @ 1.71% Zn, 0.15% Cu, 0.3 g/t Ag
AND 0.27 m @ 2.00% Zn, 0.08% Cu
DDH 3197-1-80: 4.51 m @ 0.53% Zn, 0.06% Cu
includes 0.76 m @ 1.34% Zn, 0.18% Cu
AND 11.5 m @ 1.36% Zn, 0.17% Cu
includes 2.65 m @ 4.30% Zn, 0.21% Cu
includes 1.01 m @ 8.25% Zn, 0.34% Cu
DDH 3197-2-80: 0.30 m @ 2.69% Zn, 0.07% Cu
AND 4.90 m @ 1.51% Zn, 0.06% Cu
AND 0.90 m @ 1.98% Zn, 0.01% Cu
DDH 3197-3-80: 8.90 m @ 1.51% Zn, 0.08% Cu
includes 3.90 m @ 2.53% Zn, 0.06% Cu
includes 1.00 m @ 4.63% Zn, 0.09% Cu
This zone appears to be open along strike and at depth. The Company proposes to drill for extensions of the mineralization, assisted by modelling of the VTEM data.
VTEM Anomalies: There are 9 discrete VTEM PLUS conductive anomalies that do not appear to have had any previous drill testing. Their conductivity varies from very weak to moderate. Most are in areas with little or no outcrop and one is under a lake.
