Dec 07, 2005 (G Seim) - The Russell Property may be transected by the Porcupine Destor Fault Zone. To the north of the fault zone are Komatiitic rocks (chlorite schist) intruded by quartz porphyry dikes and east-trending diabase dike. The porphyries are typically mineralized with fine sulphides (pyrite).
