Jul 15, 2014 (A Pace) - The Kincaid brecci varies from 6 to 10 m in width, trends north-northwest and dips 40 to 45 degrees to the northeast. The breccia zone is composed of elsite breccia and a vein breccia intruded by a fie-grained mafic dike. The felsite breccia is auto-brecciated and consists of angular fragments of red, hematized felsite hosted within a reddish colour matrix. Minor stockwork quartz veining was also identified in sections of the felsite breccia. The vein breccia consists of a calcite rich, siliceous veining carrying angular fragments of basalt, mafic volcanic and felsite. The breccia zone is intruded by fine grained mafic dike with a similar dip.

Jul 15, 2014 (A Pace) - The minieralziation consists of finely disseminated pyrite, chalcocite, malachite, chalcopyrite and native copper. In the mineralized sections of the vein breccia, chalcocite can be found as patches within the siliceous/calcite matrix and within the brecciated host rock fragments. It was also found within the basalt units proximal to the vein breccia and felsite breccia. Chalcopyrite was more common within quartz stringers hosted within the mafic metavolcainc rocks. In 1962, hole 62-6 intersected copper with considerable malachite seen over part of the exposed area. Slgiht chalcocite was seen in the core and two sections sampled gave 0.37% over 1.5 feet and 0.30% copper over 2 feet. Diamond drilling completed in 2011-2012 intersected a mineralized vein and felsite breccia, tredning north-northwest on the fault contact between the Keweenawan basalts and the Archean greenstone belt. Assay results included KB-01-11: 1.36% Cu over 2.8m, KB-02-11: 1.57% Cu over 3.6 m and 2.82% Cu over 2.5 m and KB-08-11: 1.44% Cu over 4.8 m.
