Dec 07, 2005 (A Wilson) - A shaft was sunk in chlorite schist north of the contact with a porphyry. The schist has been descirbed as consisting of massive pyritized mafic flows intercalated with felsic tuffs/sedimets and chlorite-sericite schist. Feldspar porphyry dikes are common in the shaft area where some of them host narrow quartz-pyrite veinlets.

Dec 07, 2005 (A Wilson) - Grab samples collected in 1911 returned values ranging from $0.20 Au to $25.00 Au. A grab sample collected by the OGS in 1922 returned an assay of $10.40 Au. Grab samples collected in 1936 returned values ranging from $0.35 Au to $70.00 Au. Grab samples collected by Haddington Resources returned values of 52 g/t Au from a quartz-pyrite vein and 21 g/t Au from a quartz-pyrite-molybdenite vein.
