The following information on the recently acquired claim groups known as the McLean-Molly Project is taken from assessment reports and Minfile data and describes deposits which are now owned by Cadre Capital Inc. of Vancouver, BC.
A 7.6-metre adit showed a vein to be 20 to 38 centimetres wide. A 7.6-metre tunnel on the face of a very steep cliff shows a vein to be from 8 to 15 inches wide, largely consisting of iron oxide and sulphide and talcy material and containing streaks and nodules of galena. A sample across 25 centimetres of rusty material which was considered as containing lead carbonate yielded 212.57 grams per tonne silver and 2 per cent lead.
A sample of clean galena assayed 1.37 grams per tonne gold, 3915.46 grams per tonne silver and 63.6 per cent lead. Assays of material from trenches included 0.91 metres of mineralized gossan that yielded 428.58 grams per tonne silver and 5.5 per cent lead. The veins appear to be continuous over 168 to 183 metres.
Lying in the hornfels just north of the contact, the Molly Lake II showing is composed of two zones. A 213-metre wide aplite dike zone, adjacent to the contact, is slightly mineralized. A quartz vein zone, well mineralized, occurs 150 metres further north and is referred to as the Molly Lake II showing proper. The aplite dike zone contains voluminous aplite dikes and irregular bodies that contain rare fine specks of molybdenite as well as quartz-rich vugs with molybdenite rosettes. At a point where these aplite dikes and bodies decrease abruptly in abundance, numerous molybdenite-bearing quartz veins cut across the fine-grained micaceous hornfels.
There are three types of molybdenite mineralization associated with quartz veins:
1) Molybdenite occurs as fissure-filling between the quartz veins and the host hornfels,
2) Molybdenite specks are formed along lengthwise seams in quartz veins,
3) Flakes of molybdenite are disseminated in a five millimeter biotite-rich band in hornfels, parallel to
