Aug 01, 2014 (A Wilson) - The drill hole intersected a thick section of fine- to medium-grained mafic tuffs containing chloritized lenses. The unit is underlain by a coarse-grained massive to weakly foliated mafic fragmental units containing zones of banded semi-massive to massive pyrrhotite-pyrite. The footwall rocks are massive mafic metavolcanics and/or intrusive rocks.
