Province: Superior
Geological Age: Archean
Metamorphism Grade: Greenschist
Dec 07, 2005 (C Salo) - Geological mapping (Prest 1953; Jensen 1989, 1985; Jensen and Baker 1986; Johnstone and Steele 1989; Troop 1989; Baker et al. 1980; McClenaghan et al. 1988, 1987; Steele 1988) indicates that bedrock in the area consists mainly of sparsely exposed weakly metamorphosed (greenschist or lower metamorphic facies) ultramafic to mafic volcanic rocks of the (Archean) Stoughton- Roquemaure Group which strike southeast, dip steeply, and face northeast. A large felsic body intrudes the volcanic rocks several hundred metres northeast of the occurrence. The Porcupine-Destor Fault Zone is several hundred metres southwest of the occurrence.

Dec 07, 2005 (C Salo) - A gold assay of 0.05 ounce of gold per ton from a 1.4 foot core length of silicified, brecciated, and weakly magnetic andesite (probably Mg-tholeiitic basalt) containing 5-10% of pyrite is reported (assessment files, Resident Geologist's Office, Kirkland Lake) to have been obtained from Armco Mineral Exploration Ltd. drill hole no. AK-7.
