Dec 07, 2005 (A Wilson) - Mineralization is hosted within quartz carbonate veins and within albitized and sheared metasedimentary rocks. The veins range from 1-3 m in width and are spatially associated with sulphide-bearing argillite-chert-iron formation along the southern flank of a feldspar porphyry intrusion.
