Dec 07, 2005 (A Wilson) - A series of narrow, closely spaced, steeply dipping, shear zones occur as discontinuous structures in a broad zone. Individual shears are mineralized with sulphides and commonly measure 1 - 2 m in width and greater than 20 m in length. The zone hosting the individual shears is roughly 30 m wide.

Oct 17, 2013 (A Wilson) - The mineralization is hosted in a coarse grained diorite to quartz diorite, with 40-50% mafic minerals. The mafic minerals are hornblende and ilmenite and chlorite, plus epidote are widespread alteration products. This mafic phase is cut by a number of irregular, medium-grained, leucocratic granodiorite dikes that are up to 5 m thick, and sub parallel to the shear hosted mineralization. Local agmatitic phases are present but apparently unrelated to the mineralization. Where the broad shear zone transects the diorite, the host rocks are strongly altered, with biotite which occurs in coarse disseminated grains and in finer, sub parallel grains which tend to be concentrated in bands. There is also a broader distribution of medium grained, opalescent, blue-grey quartz grains and fine disseminated pyrite grains. Locally, within the alteration zone, there is a patchy development where anhedral grains of feldspar occur in 1 cm aggregates with a hornfelsic appearance. Within the granodioritic dikes, there are veins of massive, fine-grained chlorite perpendicular to the mineralized trend. Adjacent to the shear zones, the host diorite has been altered to a fine to medium grained, felsic unit. This unit also has a higher sulphide content than the adjacent diorite.

Oct 17, 2013 (A Wilson) - The discontinuous shear zones are the locus of the mineralization. Some of these shears have an axial quartz-carbonate vein up to 30 cm thick. Pyrite, chalcopyrite, pyrrhotite and pyrolusite form between 1-30% of these veins. In the wall rock, sulphide extend up to 8m from the veins within the biotite altered diorite, where it occurs as fine disseminated veins or in thin stringers. The chalcopyrite tends to be coarser than the other sulphide and concentrated in the veins and sulphide stringers. The higher grade mineralization is centred on the shear zones and values up to 70 g/t gold have been obtained in selected grab samples. Grab samples collected by the OGS in 1993 returned values of 1.82 g/t Au, 2.9 g/t Ag; 8.22 g/t Au, 7.7 g/t Ag; 0.3 g/t Au, 0.6 g/t Ag.
