Lithology Comments

Aug 31, 2007 (A Wilson) - The diamond drill hole intersected a sequence of felsic tuffs and breccias and ultramafic metavolcanic rocks. All units are intruded by a complex sequence of albitite, syenite and gabbro dikes. Quartz veins are prominent throughout the felsic intrusive dikes. The ultramafic rocks are variably altered to serpentine-talc-carbonate and fuchsite-carbonate with minor silicification.
