Geology Comments

Dec 07, 2005 (K R Kettles) - The occurrence is underlain by a thick sequence of altered mafic metavolcanic flows. The flows vary in grain size and texture. They strike NE-SW, dip nearly vertically, and stratigraphic tops are to the NW. Waxy quartz porphyry dikes, partly altered to sericite are also present in the sequence.

Mineralization Comments

Dec 07, 2005 (K R Kettles) - A quartz vein, about 40 cm in thickness and mineralized with sphalerite, galena, and chalcopyrite returned anomalous silver values. A 0.40 m section of core returned assays of 1.18 opt Ag and trace Au.



Alteration Comments

Dec 07, 2005 (K R Kettles) - The country rocks have been described as being chloritized, and have probably been carbonatized and silicified.
