Oct 29, 2014 (Mark Puumala) - The L118N occurrence is located in in an area of extensive NW trending drumlinoid mounds that contain a diverse population of subrounded glacial erratic boulders. The showing occurs in a cluster of subangular boulders (up to 0.7 m in size) of melanogabbro to pyroxenite breccia hosted in a matrix of monzogranite. These boulders are non-magnetic and display weak actinolite development. Up to 2 percent very fine-grained sulphides consisting of chalcopyrite, pyrrhotite and pyrite are disseminated in both the clasts and matrix. Grab samples from the L118N occurrence have returned assays of up to 1098 ppb Pd and 675 ppb Pt (McCrindle and Fingler 2001 AFRI52H12NW2003)
