Jun 02, 2011 (A Wilson) - A long sinuous band of gneiss is included within metamorphosed feldspathic arenite. Both are cut by pegmatitic granite and coarse syenite dikes, some of which are 25 feet wide. Ore-grade mineralization is found in the arenite. The arenite is gently folded and the fold axis plunges at 30° and trends S23W. Shearing was observed in the northern part of the deposit and is characterized by non-coherent hornblende-plagioclase gneiss containing lenses of unsheared rock.
