Feb 15, 2019 (Sheree Hinz) - The rocks are predominantly composed of volcanic and related erosional products, which trend W to WNW across the area. Banded iron formations occur locally in the northern townships (Mabee, Dargavel, Lennox), while later intrusions of ultramafic and granitic rocks as well as quartz diabase dykes, cut the volcanic-sedimentary assemblages. The ultramafic intrusions which host mineralization occur as conformable sheet-form bodies and plugs. They consist mainly of variably serpentinized, talcose, peridotite-gabbro sequences, although dunite, pyroxenite, serpentinite, and gabbro pegmatite occur locally.

Feb 15, 2019 (P Bousquet) - 05/09/2011 (P BOUSQUET) - Hole 25014 has showed a lot of anomalous Ni values in an ultramafic (peridotite) with assays in Ni varying from 0.01 to 0.5% Ni, with anomalous values in chromium from 1.67 to 13.35% Cr2O3. The ultramafic has an apparent thickness of 680ft (T-1168).
