Lithology Comments

Jul 22, 2008 (A Wilson) - The drill hole intersected a sequence of massive and sheared rhyolite and andesite. The metavolcanic package is intruded by porphyry and diorite dikes. Diamond drilling by Conwest in 1975 intersected what are described as interbedded tuffaceous intermediate metavolcanics and rhyolites. The drill hole terminated in graphitic argillite.
