Jan 06, 2017 (Andrew Tims) - The occurrence lies within the a corridor of shearing and albite alteration hosting anomalous gold values. Gold tends to be associated with thin, pyritic shears parallel to foliation within intermediate to felsic tuffaceous units and along the contacts between intermediate to felsic volcanics and porphyry bodies or mafic volcanic flows and displays considerable well-exposed outcrop hosting at least three airborne conductive horizons which have not been drill-tested.
