Dec 07, 2005 (A Wilson) - The occurrence is described as consisting of visible gold within carbonate fracturing or within 3 feet of the greenstone. The veins are hosted in massive to foliated iron carbonate and/or sericite carboante schist zones, both crosscutting and concordant with the stratigraphy which strikes NW. The carbonate zones are up to 12 m wide and extend along strike for 300 m.
