Aug 19, 2010 (A Pace) - The lithologies consist of calc-alkaline intermediate tuffs and lapilli tuffs to the northwest and pillowed and massive tholeiitic basalts to the south-southwest. Located between these two dominant units is a laterally extensive, chert-rich horizon containing variable amounts of sulphides and consistent amounts of graphite-bearing argillite.

Aug 19, 2010 (A Pace) - The mineralization consists of pyrite and pyrrhotite associated with graphite in lean sulphide iron formation. The sulphide iron formation consists of stringers, bands, masses and blebs of pyrite and pyrrhotite containing appreciable amounts of sphalerite and chalcopyrite. The mineralization occurs in a rusty gossan-like weathered sequence of graphite, argillite, chert, siltstone and chlorite schist interbedded with mafic to intermediate pillowed flows. Grab samples collected by R. J. Fraser in 1982 include: 18 samples analyzed averaged 4.9% Zn, 18 samples analyzed averaged 0.188% Cu, 7 samples analyzed averaged 2.66 g/t Ag. 2 out of 5 drill holes conducted by Noranda in 1990 intersected extension mineralization these include: DDH Wol-90-1A with a total of 15.7 m of 177.93 m of drilling intersected mineralization with an average assay of 5.3% Zn and 0.015% Cu. DDH Wol-90-02 with a total of 12.58 m of 149.86 m drilling intersected mineralization with an average assay of 0.19% Zn and 0.022% Cu. Sampling in the main trenches conducted by Noranda in 1989. Highlighted grab samples include grab sample numbers 80768 returning 9.68% Zn, 80771 assaying 7.50% Zn, 80774 assaying 10.23% Zn, 80775 assaying 1.43% Zn, 80790 assaying 7.05% Zn, 80729 assaying 1.10% Zn, 0.23% Cu and 4.8 g/t Ag.
