This is a very significant occurrence that has similar lithology and stratigraphic position to MDZ, but lies at
least 4,500m west of it. A single hole, RL04-46, drilled in 2004 showed 2.5 g Au/t over 3.85m in bleached
ultramafic immediately beneath quartz-sericite schist, but all further drilling in the area was plagued by
difficulties in penetrating deep glacial overburden, and the 3 attempts were abandoned without successfully
going beyond the casing stage.
The Far West Zone
- Located 4,500m West of MDZ;
- 3 follow-up holes abandoned due to deep moraine overburden
- Single hole RL04-46
- Similar lithology and stratigraphic position to MDZ
- 2.5 g Au/t over 3.85m
- Bleached ultramafic immediately beneath quartz-sericite schist
