Dec 07, 2005 (A Wilson) - Diamond drilling intersected a thick sequence of strongly magnetitc peridodite. Magnetite was observed in fine veinlets within olivine and continuing into the matrix. Some thin magnetite-rich veins were also observed within the rock. Serpentine-filled veins were common at the top of the hole and patchy serpentine alteration was observed at depth.
