Dec 07, 2005 (A Wilson) - Diamond drilling intersected a sequence of metasediments, sulphidized oxide-facies iron formation and porphyritic rhyodacitic dikes. The sulphidized iron formation is cross-cut by narrow quartz veins and contains 1-60% disseminated to semimassive pyrite and pyrrhotite and traces of disseminated sphalerite.
