Lithology Comments

Oct 30, 2024 (Sheree Hinz) - On the Massey Property the gabbroic cumulate rocks of the Kamiskotia Gabbroic Complex underlie the Property, with granitoid intrusive rocks bounding the western margin. A set of diabase dikes striking north-northwest transect the Property. These dikes are very fine-grained and are composed of olivine, augite and possible minor amounts of magnetite, and varying amount of pyrite mineralization (pyrrhotite, pyrite, chalcopyrite and pentlandite)
