Apr 27, 2015 (A Wilson) - The felsic to intermediate metavolcanics are tuffaceous and display massive bedding in some sections. The unit is weakly altered and bleached and has some hematitic alteration. Narrow carbonate veins are common, as are narrow specularite filled fractures. Between 114 m and 147 m the drill hole intersected fine- to medium-grained massive mafic metavolcanics.
