Geological Age: Neoarchean
Metamorphism Type: Regional
Metamorphism Grade: Greenschist
Dec 07, 2005 (K Houle) - Unit is described as being strongly sheared at a core angle of about 45 deg.

Dec 07, 2005 (K Houle) - Anomalous values of zinc, gold and silver reported in Falconbridge Nickel's drill hole #7 at a vertical depth of approximately 232' (71m). Volcanic is described as, grey with light and dark banding at 45 deg resulting from strong shearing, little scattered pyrite and weak development of biotite, probably an intermediate flow but could have (been) an altered sediment. The anomalous value come from a 3.7'section of sheared volcanic with seams of pyrite and sphalerite.
Dec 07, 2005 (A Wilson) - Mineralization occurs within schistose felsic volcanic rocks of the Hanrahan Assemblage. It consists of pyritic, sericitized and silicified fragmental rocks with thin sphalerite stringers locally cut by quartz veins containing pyrite and chalcopyrite.

| 1 | Sphalerite | Economic | Ore | ||||
| 2 | Pyrite | Economic | Ore | ||||
| 1 | Chalcopyrite | Economic | Gangue |
Dec 07, 2005 (K Houle) - Mineralization varies from a little scattered pyrite to small seams of pyrite and sphalerite in anomalous sections.
Sep 08, 2017 (A Wilson) - Assays up to 1.21% Zn, 0.51 oz/t Ag and 0.03 oz/t Au over 1.1 m, and 1.03% Zn, 0.55 oz/t Ag and 0.01 oz/t Au (Hole 7, T-0622).
Sep 08, 2017 (P Bousquet) - Halley Resources Ltd. drilled in the area in 1988-1989. The best intersection in the area came from hole H88-7, with an assay of 0.014 oz/t gold, 640 ppm Cu and 3080 ppm Zn over 3 ft, in a pyrite-sericite-quartz schist (T-3332).

Date: Jul 05, 1993
Geologist: K Houle
Notes: An attempt was made to locate the drill hole which contained the showing but the area has been since logged over and replanted and is now covered by 10 year old jack pine. The UTM coordinates given in the report remain the best estimate of the drill holes location.
