Aug 20, 2008 (A Wilson) - Diamond drilling intersected a sequence of diabase, felsic metavolcanics and intermediate metavolcanics. Sulphides are found as disseminated and massive bands throughout the metavolcanic rocks. Narrow quartz veins are found within the tuffs. The drill hole continues in intermediate metavolcanics to EOH. Olivine diabase intrudes the sequence at 962 feet.
