Lithology Comments

Jun 24, 2013 (A Wilson) - Gold mineralization occurs within a 60 m wide feldspar porphyry sill, likely representing the Aquarius Fault, in an area of ultramafic and mafic metavolcanic rocks. The porphyry contains a prominent fracture system which appears to have an attitude oblique to the known strike and dip of the porphyry.
