Dec 07, 2005 (A Wilson) - THe drill holes intersected a series of hornblende and granitic gneisses. The hornblende gneisses consist of hornblende, feldspar and quartz. The granitic gneisses consist of quartz, feldspar, hornblende, biotite and garnets. There are also local pegmatitic phases. To the north along the highway, the biotite granitic gneisses have a contorted foliation, and have some biotite and hornblende rich resistates, probably derived from mafic dikes and supracrustal rocks.
