gold, 55.5 ppm molybdenum, 129 ppm lead, 5,600 ppm silver, 840 ppm arsenic, 70 ppm bismuth,_x000D_
8639 ppm barium, >300 ppm tungsten, 45 ppm tin, 0.73 ppm tellurium, and 3.25 ppm thallium,_x000D_
including one sample containing an extremely rich 604.5 grams per tonne Au and >300 ppm silver._x000D_
These numbers and other features found at the property were thought to be indicative of Carlin_x000D_
type mineralization._x000D_
However, new research done with the support of an Engage Grant supports a completely different_x000D_
mineralization scenario (intrusion-related, potentially polymetallic), and additional data are necessary to obtain_x000D_
results that the company can use to design an efficient and effective exploration program._x000D_
The purpose of the proposed study is to test the hypothesis that the Samp prospect represents an_x000D_
intrusion-related deposit by mapping specific geological features and collecting samples for whole-rock_x000D_
geochemical assay, petrography, and electron probe microanalysis. This will expand on the mapping and_x000D_
mineralogical and geochemical work done in the original study and will include a detailed evaluation of all_x000D_
parts of the mineralizing system. The results will show if the hypothesis of an intrusion-related deposit is_x000D_
correct and will enable the industrial partner to design a suitable exploration program., program purpose french : In 2012 Kluane Drilling Ltd. visited the Samp prospect and collected samples showing up to 18 ppb_x000D_
