Aug 23, 2012 (A Wilson) - Anomalous base metal values were recovered from sulphide-facies iron formation within intermediate to felsic metavolcanic rocks and adjacent to a gabbroic intrusion. The iron formation consists of finely laminated pyritic and cherty material but is occasionally intercalated with fine seams of magnetite in chert.
