Mar 05, 2014 (A Wilson) - Diamond drilling intersected a 140 m thick sequence of amygdaloidal pillowed mafic metavolcanic rocks which overlay a 117 m sequence of altered mafic metavolcanics and a 138 m sequence amygdaloidal pillowed mafic metavolcanic rocks. A 7 m thick graphitic unit was intersected between 406 and 413 m. The drill hole terminated in pillowed mafic metavolcanics. Narrow stringers and veins of quartz carbonate are found within all mafic volcanic units.
