Dec 07, 2005 (A Wilson) - The host rock is a strongly altered, medium-grained peridotite. Sepentine, talc, carbonate and magnetite are the alteration minerals present.

Dec 07, 2005 (A Wilson) - Pyrite mineralization varies from sparse up to 10% within the peridotite. Only one assay was taken. One drill hole completed by Armac Securities and Toom Nickel Syndicate returned a value of 0.24% Ni.
Jun 19, 2013 (P Bousquet) - Magnetite up to 10% in the zone where the sample was taken, concentrated along the joints (T-2196). Kennecott drilled three holes, TN-93-2 to TN-93-4, which returned small metre-thick intersection to up to 0.25 % Ni in ultramafic flows (T-3481). It also intersected intermediate to mafic tuffs which returned assays to up to 4360 ppm Cu over one metre (T-3841).
