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 0.1 - 2 m in width and greater than20 m in length. The broad zones which contains the individual shears is roughly 30 m wide and is itself repetitive with othe small shear zones spaced about 50 m apart.

Dec 07, 2005 (A Wilson) - The mineralization is hosted in a coarse grained diorite to granodiorite with up to 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 5m thick and subparallelto the shear hosted mineralization. Where the broad shear zone transects the diorites, the host rocks are strongly affected by carbonate alteration which extends some distance from the shears. Chlorite and biotite alteration, which occurs in coarse disseminated grains and in finer, subparallel grains, tends to be concentrated in bands closer to the shear zones and imparts a gneissic appearance to the rock. There is also a broader distribution of 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 in joints perpendicular to the mineralized trend. Adjacent to the larger shear zones, the host, coarse-grained, diorite has been altered to a fine to medium grained, felsic unit. This unit also has a higher sulphide content than the adjacent diorite.

Nov 14, 2011 (A Wilson) - The discontinuous shear zones are the locus of the mineralization. Some also have axial quartz-carbonate-massive sulphide veins up to 30 cm thick. Pyrite, chalcopyrite, pyrrhotite and pyrolusite forms between 1-30% of these veins. In the wall rock, sulphides occur within the chlorite/biotite altered diorite where it occurs as fine disseminated veins or in thin stringers. The chalcopyrite tends to be coarser than the other sulphides and concentrated in the veins and sulphide stringers.
