Ruf Claims Overview
Located about 1.5 miles northeast of the Pipeline mine, Levon's Ruf claims have produced encouraging results in both geophysical surveys and drilling since the 1980s.
Levon completed a 6-hole, reverse-circulation drill program totaling 3,000' in 1995. This work tested a strong NW-oriented EM/resistivity anomaly which was interpreted as a sulfide-filled fault zone. The drilling returned three narrow intervals containing low-grade gold values that reached up to 40-ft-thick averaging 0.018 oz Au/t, from 185 ft.
A follow-up program of detailed ground geophysics and drilling has been proposed.
