Aug 31, 2007 (A Wilson) - The showing is a mineralized area consisting of a poorly exposed subcrop of iron tholeiitic basalts cut by a strong quartz vein stockwork with disseminated pyrite in veins and in vein wallrocks. The quartz stockwork consists of veins that range from 1mm to 2 cm in thickness. Anomalous gold values are found at the contact between the mafic metavolcanics and ultramafics and the mafic metavolcanics and the aplitic unit
