Jun 28, 2012 (A Wilson) - Gold mineralization occurs within red, hematite-altered porphyry, variably silicified, carbonate and sericite altered and variably mineralized with up to 5% pyrite. Other “syenitic intrusions” have commonly been reported in drill logs, particularly in the vicinity of the Kapika Zone, and further north in the Red Porphyry Zone. Those units are generally described as peculiar “red magnetite-bearing porphyries”, light to medium orange-red in colour, variably deformed, sericitized and hematized, with very little remnants feldspar phenocrysts. In many instances, these units are probably an altered equivalent of the quartz and/or quartz-feldspar porphyries or appear to be misinterpreted lithologies, as a result of pinkish red hematization and possible albite alteration.
