Jul 07, 2010 (A Wilson) - The mafic metavolcanic rocks have been mapped as carbonate-chlorite schist. A granite porphyry dike (up to 40 feet in width) runs along the centre of the sheared zone with well mineralized schist, quartz veins and stringers to the north and south of the porphyry. The ultramafic intrusive is described as being leucocratic and slightly serpentinized and talcose.
