Dec 07, 2005 (A Wilson) - Diamond drilling intersected a sequence of carbonate altered mafic metavolcanics. Some possible pillow remanents were observed in core, but the flows appear to be massive,and medium-grained for the most part. Some narrow wacke interflow metasediments were also observed. Sulphides are found disseminated throughout the mafic metavolcanics and within narrow quartz veins and fractures.
