Mar 20, 2012 (A Wilson) - Quartz-chalcopyrite veins cut Gowganda Formation quartzite. The veins strike N80W to N30W, dip 90 to 80N, and are exposed intermittently over a strike length of about 600 feet. Widths evidently are up to a maximum of 12 feet. Robertson reports that the quartz veins occur in a brecciated zone within the quartzite.
