Dec 07, 2005 (A Wilson) - The predominant lithologies are felsic to intermediate volcaniclastic rocks consisting of ash tuff, lapilli tuff, crystal tuff and agglomerate with lesser volumes of massive or brecciated rhyolite and mafic tuffs. Thin, silica-rich finely laminated white units, possibly of exhalative origin, occur in proximity to the base metal-mineralized zones. The felsic volcanic sequence dips steeply southeast and faces southeast.
