Lithology Comments

Mar 31, 2009 (A Wilson) - The drill hole intersected a sequence of interbedded intermediate to mafic tuffs and lapilli tuffs. Several graphitic argillite horizons were intersected. Anomalous zinc and copper values were returned from fine to medium grained mafic metavolcanics containing both disseminated sulphide and as fracture fillings. Some anomalous values were returned from sections with narrow quartz veins.

Mineralization Comments

Mar 31, 2009 (A Wilson) - Anomalous Cu values (3250 ppm) were returned from a 1 m section of core and anomalous Zn values (3900 ppm and 2560 ppm were recovered from 1.2 and 0.5 m sections of core. The sulphides are described as narrow bands of up to 4% sulphides up to 10 cm in width.

Dec 03, 2018 (P Bousquet) - The mineralization seems concentrated at lithology composition changes, from intermediate to mafic, underlined by the presence of graphite (T-4605).
