Hole 4 may have been iron pyrites (pyrites, fool's gold). As dug up, it looks like the published pictures. Oxidation will bring out a rusty iron color, chalcopyrite will show a blue-green copper stain. Unoxidized, iron pyrites and chalcopyrite look very similar.

"These targets (or anomalies) show up on a ground geophysical survey as a conductive anomaly, what they are"

Not having seen the hole 3 cores, I can only go by the geologist's statement that they looked worth assaying. Pyrites is paramagnetic, not ferromagnetic (the only magnetism easily detected).
