Feb 08, 2012 (A Wilson) - Diamond drilling intersected a sequence of brecciated material overlying a thick sequence of oxide facies iron formation interbedded with intermediate tuffaceous rocks. The intermediate to felsic metavolcanics are described as massive dacite and crystal tuff. The volcanics grade westward from andesite to basalt.
