Lithology Comments

Jun 20, 2008 (A Wilson) - Diamond drilling intersected a sequence of silicified intermediate metavolcanic rocks with narrow brecciated zones throughout. Some tuffaceous units were observed in the drill core. The drill core intersected metasediments at depth. The metasediments may be tuffaceous metavolcanics. Sulphides are found throughout the drill core.
