Gabbro 1 Gabbro Host
Granodiorite 2 Adjacent
Vein 3 Quartz Host

Lithology Comments

Dec 07, 2005 (A Wilson) - The gabbro and granodiorite are massive, medium to lacally coarse-grained and weather green to dark green. Loccaly, shearing is common. The shaft and adit were driven close to the contact between gabbro and granodiorite. A diabase dike traverses the contact between the two rock types at this site. A second inclined shaft was reportedly sunk at the intersection of two quartz veins.
