Feb 29, 2008 (A Wilson) - Diamond drilling intersected a sequence of what is described as intermediate metavolcanic rocks. They are described as tuffaceous and/or fragmental. Between 171 and 197 m several sulphide-bearing quartz-carbonate veins were assayed. The drill hole continued in felsic/intermediate metavolcanic rocks to the EOH at 577 ft.
