For reference, the chargeability anomalies in pink are shown in red on the plan map in Figure 2a, along with the location of this section line. Integrated anomalies in gold, silver, molybdenum, arsenic, thallium and tungsten derived from surface soil and rock sample grids confirm the IP anomalies as targets for the pyrite-bearing center of a low-sulfidation gold-silver epithermal system. The northern IP anomaly is located directly below surface outcrops with bladed quartz-carbonate textures amongst banded quartz-adularia veins with open space (see rock photo in Figure 3a), evidence for boiling in the upper part of the precious metal zone in the well-established Buchanan epithermal model (1981). Banded quartz-adularia veins also occur at surface above the south IP anomaly (see rock photo in Figure 3b).
