Jan 25, 2017 (A Wilson) - A large area has been stripped and trenched on a granite pegmatite and quartz syenite pegmatite body intrusive into a larger area of syenite along the southern boundary of the Glamorgan granite mass. In places the pegmatite is highly feldspathic (red microcline) with a very low quartz content but for the most part it contains green to black hornblende. The more hornblendic. parts tend to be plagioclase-rich. An inclusion of coarse-grained syenite within the pegmatite has a marginal concentration of hornblende

Jan 25, 2017 (A Wilson) - A pegmatite dyke (in biotite gneiss), 5 ft. wide in the trench but narrowing to 2 ft. in a 25 ft. stripping to the NE. Pink feldspar, some quartz, rarely a little fluorspar.
