Dec 13, 2022 (Therese Pettigrew) - Mineralization is found in 1-4 m wide strongly foliated and or sheared zones oriented approximately 110°, within the dominantly coherent mafic metavolcanics that comprise most of the island. Arsenopyrite and pyrite are the dominant sulphide phases. Chalcopyrite is present in trace amounts. Anomalous gold mineralization occurring over a strike length of 500 m trending NE to SW, with samples returning up to 3.64 ppm Au. Mineralization does not appear to be directly related to quartz veining (Assessment report 20000009265).
