May 13, 2014 (A Wilson) - Diamond drilling intersected a sequence of sericite-quartz-feldspar schist interbedded with thin interbeds of garnetiferous hornblendite. The conductor is interpreted to be a mineralized micaceous metasediment and rhyodacitic pyroclastic. The drill hole terminated in intermediate volcanoclastics.
