Historic Drilling

Mouse Mountain has been explored with 19 percussion and 16 diamond drill holes. Most of the drilling focused on the Valentine Zone, but 5 holes were drilled near the Rainbow Breccia. Holes are each roughly 100 m deep; the RC holes are vertical but most of the diamond drill holes are inclined. The location and distribution of the holes at Mouse Mountain is given below:

Map to show historic drilling of Mouse Mountain. Dupont drilled five percussion holes north of the Rainbow zone in 1975.Each hole was about 300 feet deep. One averaged just higher than 0.1%Cu over 170 feet. Bethlehem focused on the Valentine zone in 1970 with 14 vertical RC holes. Teck diamond drill holes date from 1991 and 1992 and are shown in blue. Details of the depth and intersections of the holes are given in tables2, 3 and 4. The background of the map is the geology as mapped by Jonnes and given in figure 13.
