Dec 07, 2005 (A Wilson) - Diamond drilling intersected a sequence of massive, brecciated and pillowed mafic metavolcanic flows. Elevated zinc and copper values were returned from sulphidized mafic volcanic breccia. Weak to moderate fracture controlled chloritization was observed. Quartz-feldspar-epidote-carbonate alteration also was observed in the more massive sections of the core.
