Dec 07, 2005 (A Wilson) - The occurrences are hosted within a southwest striking parcel of metaseiments which are bounded to the north by mafic metavolcanic rocks and intruded in the central part by a variably altered quartz-feldspar porphyryitic intrusion. The sediments consist of a sequence of chloritic interbeded sandsones and argillitic mudstones. Close to the main porphyry intusion, the sediments are coarser grained with only minor mudstone horizons.
