Geological Age: Early Precambrian
Dec 05, 2013 (A Pace) - Highly metamorphosed sedimentary rocks consisting of arkosic, quartzite, and argillit. The arkosic beds have been highly granitized while the argilllite beds have beeen well chloritized. The quartzit beds hve remained relatively unaltered. Sills and dykes of younger gabbro intrude the sediments. The sediments strike east-west and have steep dips usually close to vertical. Strong north-south faulting has occurred on the ground as horizontal displacements of anomalies of up to 1000 feet have been found. In some areas the quartzite has been fractured and partly replaced by sulphides.

Dec 05, 2013 (A Pace) - Disseminated to massive sulphides occur in fractures and vienlets in east-west trending shear zones. The sulphides are pyrite, pyrrhotite, with chalcopyrite, sphalerite, and molybdenite present in varing amounts. 1962: 2 drill holes cut substantial widths of heavy pyrite mineraliztion within quartzite. One hole intersected scattered molybdenite mineralization over 20 feet. A value of 0.25% molybdenite over 1.5 feet was obtained within this zone.
