Apr 26, 2013 (A Wilson) - Diamond drill holes intersected 113 ft of quartzite and conglomerate of the Matinenda Formation. The quartzite is described as yellowish in colour and arkosic in composition with a significant number of pebbles within the beds. The conglomerate is described as a poor pebble conglomerate with abundant quartz and feldspar pebbles. Feldspathic sandstone, some of which contains white quartz pebbles and granite orthoconglomerate dips 25-45º south. The sedimentary rocks lie non-conformably on Archean granitic rocks.
