The combined results of the lab assays and the weighted gold per sample were combined to obtain indicative grades in grams per cubic meter. The heavy mineral concentrates were sent to MSALABS in Langley, BC, to assay for fine gold particles or non-visible gold. Over 20 grains of gold ranged in size from approximately 100 um up to 3mm in length, coarse and delicate were extracted. Under a microscope, the gold grains were extracted to be counted, weight, and characterized. The sieved fractions were further mechanically concentrated via a Superpanner. The process employed by Coalia was to sieve the concentrates through <2 mm fraction mesh. The samples were processed at the Coalia Laboratory in Thetford Mines, Quebec.
The Company used a suction dredge and a sluice apparatus to collect and concentrate the samples. Samples were taken from water-filled trenches T-13-3, SB-101 and SB-102 in the quarry floor from cemented brown tertiary gravel in contact with sheared volcanic rock.
It is located north of Range X and about 300m southeast of the presumed Ditton placer channel. The Ditton quarry is approximately 20 meters deep in unconsolidated glacial till deposits.
