Mar 24, 2020 (Sheree Hinz) - The lowest unit of the sequence is a massive, relatively homogeneous, fresh, fine- to medium-grained diorite which may represent an intrusion or very thick flow. Overlying the diorite are argillite, graphitic phyllite and some sericite schist. These rock units are thought to be in fault contact with the lower diorite. Overlying the argillite, phyllite and sericite schist is a fine-grained, brecciated, light grey to dark grey chert.

Mar 24, 2020 (Sheree Hinz) - In the summer of 1955, E. Sootheran and H. Paul found chalcopyrite and sphalerite while prospecting. Drilling done in 1968 indicated potential “drill-indicated grade” of 1.2% Cu and 1.3% Zn for 310,095 tons. Brecciated chert hosts most of the copper-zinc mineralization.
