Comstock Metals has reported the results of visible gold obtained from the primary discovery carried out at the QV property, located in the White Gold District of Yukon.
The company conducted metallic screen gold assay that returned 16.28 g/t gold from the primary 070-075 degree trending quartz vein containing visible gold. The fine fraction yielded 13.12 g/t gold, where the company encountered majority of gold as fine particles. Anomalous bismuth, lead, mercury, molybdenum, tellurium and 47 g/t silver have been obtained along with gold. A 50-cm thick subcrop boulder together with continuous chips was included in the primary exposure.
The vein has been outline for 100 m with approximately 1.5 m of thickness. A subcrop grab sample of strongly leached and silicified felsic schist along with quartz veinlets and oxidized limonite and pyrite yielded 0.92 g/t gold.
This region is too sheer to carry out trenching program. A second sub-parallel vein and three further veins, isolated by silicification and quartz stockwork, were exposed in trench QVTR12-6. The primary gold-bearing vein can not be intersected in this trench, because of local topographic conditions.
The primary quartz vein, containing gold, existing in a 1.8 km long gold soil anomaly and silicification and quartz were exposed in trenches QVTR12-2, -3, and -5 along this level. Abundant silicification and quartz were opened in QVTR12-4 over 200 to 300 m towards the southeastern part of the primary visible quartz vein. Vancouver-based Acme Analytical Laboratories completed the assays.
