Jul 01, 2016 (A Wilson) - The host rock is a pink foliated quartz, feldspar porphyry-granodiorite. Small rounded feldspar phenocrysts are orientated subparallel to the foliation. In addition there are larger feldspar aggregates up to 5 mm with no preferred orientation. Strong hematite alteration occurs in 5 mm thick zones adjacent to orthogonal fractures within the porphyry.
