Dec 07, 2005 (A Wilson) - The property is underlain by a sequence of massive to gneissic trondhjemites to tonalites. Aplitic dikes are commonly found intruding both phases of granitic rock. Numerous chlorite shear zones have been found on the property. An aplite dike and chlorite shear zone are found parallel to the vein. The two veins that comprise the zone are accompanied by shearing and silicification in the intrusive rocks.
