Dec 07, 2005 (A Wilson) - Within a sequence of quartz arenites and wackes which have been subjected to amphibolite metamorphism similar to those intersected in hole 65-8, a peridotite has intruded. Adjacent to the peridotite contact, within the meta-wacke and hornblende gneiss, and to a lesser extent within the peridotite, semi-massive and disseminated sulphides occur. The peridotite intrusion has been serpentinized.

Oct 07, 2011 (A Wilson) - Adjacent to the peridotite intrusion, 60% pyrrhotite and pyrite occurs in a massive and semi-massive form together with traces of chalcopyrite. Within the peridotite, fine disseminated pyrrhotite occurs within ten metres of the contact. A grab sample near the contact between gneiss and peridotite returned an assay of 0.12% Ni.
