Aug 25, 2014 (A Wilson) - The Colborne-Stephenson Lakes Deformation Zone (SCDZ) is located in southern Rennie township where it is defined by a 300 m wide zone of ductile shearing and moderately to strongly deformed rocks. The CSDZ can be traced for at least 4 km, is open to the east, and has not been traced westward of the Rennie Lake Stock which may truncate or deflect the zone. The SCDZ is localized in felsic to intermediate pyroclastic rocks with minor mafic metavolcanic intercalations. Within the SCDZ there are several ductlile shear zones where the rocks are deformed to sericite-chlorite-quartz-carbonate schists. These zones trend from 85 to 110 degrees and range in width from less than 1 m to 10 m.

Sep 09, 2013 (A Wilson) - The vein occupies the nose of a small fold plunging about 50 degrees west and occurs between massive quartz-feldspar porphyry and intermediate, garnetiferous tuff. Several sub-parallel veins, up to 72 inches wide and oriented 110º with a dip of 70º south, are exposed in quartz-feldspar porphyry and the contact with the intermediate metavolcanics to the north.
