Apr 13, 2017 (C Ravnaas) - The Kenbridge deposit is associated with a relatively small gabbro intrusion situated along a northeast/southwest regional structure. The intrusion is hosted with a sequence of mafic volcanic flows (20000004121).

Apr 13, 2017 (C Ravnaas) - Within the Kenbridge area, the metavolcanics are predominantly mafic in composition. Fine grained andesitic to basaltic pillowed flows are abundant. Typically, they are greenish grey to black, fine to medium grained, massive basalt flows. In many places, very fine- grained. Pillowed flows, flow breccia and massive mafic flows are commonly observed in surrounding outcrops (20000004121).

Apr 13, 2017 (C Ravnaas) - A copper rich surface showing located west of the Kenbridge deposit was evaluated with three diamond drill holes. Rock types encountered in the drilling include mafic volcanic flows, felsic and mafic dikes, and gabbro which may be massive slowly cooled portions of the mafic flow sequence. Diamond Drill hole KC-08-03 intersected intervals of 1.82% Cu over 0.5 m, 0.82% Cu over 0.6 m and 0.73% Cu over 1.0 m. The Kenbridge West mineralization does not appear to be similar to Kenbridge Prospect (MDI52F05NE00008) mineralization style of gabbro hosted Ni-Cu sulphide mineralization (20000004121).
