Re: LEN-MAR MINERAL CLAIMS I

Geological-Geocllernical Repor-L &9 - - ---

In reply to your letter dated December 5, 1974, re- la-Live to the above, we would advise as follows:

( 1 ) Copper minerals on the SE and NW ridges as well as in the dacite porphyry near the lake occur as di.sseminations through the rock as well as fracture fillings. Fractures may or may not carry calcite fillings. Some fractures also carry quartz fillings. On the SE and NTd ridges small seams

r3 carry essentially disseminated mineralization without many' visible fractures.

(2) Yes to this question. It is a fact that the m i n ~ r a l i ~ n t i o n observed in the argillite consists essentially of chalcosite . and bornite. It is also a fact that the mineralization ob- served in the daciteporphyry near the lake consists essen- tially of pyrite and chalcopyrite. ,

" ,

( 3 ) An error was made when drafting map # 2 ( ~ e o l o ~ ~ ) which' led to an error in the text as the map was used as basis for the description of our work. In fact, the trench area is immediately southwest of the lake as indicated on the field sketch 3b. Consequently paragraph 3 on page 4 should read: "Surface Trenching on Claim LEN 2: seven surface trenches of various dimensions were made on claim LEN # 2 from

s August 15, 1974, . . . . (unchanged)". I am sending you a set of new and more complete maps to

replace the ones in your possession (Map # 2 - Geology).

I am sorry for any inconvenience this might have caused you and trust that the report can now be approved.

Pours very truly, PECHINF,Y DEVELOPMENT LTD.
