Lithology Comments

Jul 09, 2007 (A Wilson) - The drill hole intersected a sequence of intermediate to felsic metavolcanic rocks intruded at depth by a 14 ft thick peridotitic flow or intrusion. Diabase dikes also were intersected. The rocks in the drill hole become increasingly more felsic with depth.
