Lithology Comments

Aug 19, 2009 (A Wilson) - Diamond drilling intersected a sequence of intermediate to felsic metavolcanic rocks. The sequence consists of massive to flow-banded rhyolites and intermediate metavolcanics. Graphitic tuff was intersected in two additional drill holes completed in the same area.
