Lithology Comments

Jan 12, 2015 (A Wilson) - The komatiite exhibits polygonal jointing and some spinifex texture in the upper part of the sequence. Narrow calcite veins are found within the komatiite.




Mineralization Comments

Jun 26, 2006 (D Draper) - Drillhole B06-01intersected komatiite throughout length of hole, with no sulphide mineralization reported. However, 2 intervals sent for whole rock analysis returned the following values for nickel: 0.129% over 1.5m @ 20.5m downhole and 0.120% over 1.2m @ 42.8m. Assays of 0.099% and 0.105% Ni were also reported from intervals lower in the hole. (AF T-5331)
