Mineralization Comments

Dec 07, 2005 (A Wilson) - Fine grained pyrite occurs in sparsely distributed streaks within the metavolcanics near a contact between andesite and rhyolite. These streaks measure about 1 x 10 mm. The sulphides occur over a width of about 3m and there is a slight rust stain and even more stricted sulphate bloom on the joint surfaces and in local shears. Grab samples returned only slightly anomalous copper values.
