Dec 07, 2005 (G Seim) - The area of this occurrence is underlain by an east-trending unit of amygdaloidal, dark greyish green, massive to pillowed, mafic to intermediate metavolcanic flows. These are bounded to the north and south by black (magnetic) variolitic pillow lavas. These metavolcanics lie on the north limb of a west-plunging local syncline. The copper mineralization is mainly restricted to the dark greyish green to dark green, amygdaloidal pillow lavas. These actinolite-rich mafic to intermediate metavolcainic flows contain minor intercalated flow units of light grey-green, tremolite-rich, mafic to intermediate metavolcanic rock; only pyrite has been observed in the tremolite-rich rocks. In the actinolite-rich rocks pyrite-pyrrhotite and chalcopyrite occur mainly as agmygule fillings and also as stringers and disseminated grains of sulphide in flow-top breccias. The copper mireralization is more abundant to the lower part of the unit near Kitchiming Lake, There the interstitial areas between individual pillows are filled with massive to banded cherty material containing massive to disseminate pyrite, pyrrhotite, and chalcopyrite. This occurs near the top of individual flows.
