Geology Comments

Dec 13, 2006 (D Draper) - The Faymar property is underlain by rocks of the Deloro Group of the Abitibi Greenstone Belt. These rocks include a series of intermediate to ultramafic volcanics, quartz breccia, iron formation, and carbonatized, fuchsitic volcanics in the north end of the property. Structurally, the property is transected by three notable faults, the most prominent being the Shaw Creek Fault, which cuts roughly through the east-central portion of the property in a northsouth direction about 400 metres east of the Faymar Shaft.
