May 05, 2022 (Therese Pettigrew) - The property is underlain by pillowed intermediate to mafic flows. The rock has been sheared, and alteration consists of chlorite, sericite, and ankerite. The main shear is poorly exposed. Shearing produced highly schistose and altered rock. The schists are injected by narrow quartz veins and veinlets over a width of 5 m. Vertical schistosity strikes 075 degrees . Slickensides plunge 78 degrees to the west-southwest, indicating dip-slip movement (Delisle, 1990).

May 05, 2022 (Therese Pettigrew) - The quartz vein is white to light grey in colour, opaque, contains patches of ankerite, sericite, and muscovite, and fractures are filled with calcite. One percent disseminated pyrite occurs in the schists, but no sulphides are present in the vein material (Delisle, 1990). Grab samples of quartz vein material in the dump returned 6 ppb gold on analysis. Samples or wall rock material gave nil values an analysis.
