Jun 04, 2010 (N Bennett) - Mineralization occurs as blebby cpy 2% and blebby po 5%. It occurs within a flow/flow top breccia unit comprised of flow breccia and massive flow units. Flows are green to pale green fine grained, unfoliated to weakly foliated and non-magnetic. Breccia is predominantly clast-supported, consisting of angular, cobble sized fragments of mafic composition. The interstitial marfic material to these fragments are green to black. Moderate to strong stringer controlled quartz-carbonate criss-cross the entire length of the interval. Sample from 112.20m to 112.90m = 5350ppm Ni, 2300ppm Cu, 2690ppb Pt, 2380ppb Pd. Sample from 112.90m to 113.80m = 2370ppm Ni, 3180ppm Cu, 324ppb Pt, 467ppb Pd.
