Dec 07, 2005 (A Wilson) - Diamond drill records indicate that the host rock is a highly siliceous intermediate to felsic metavolcanic tuff. The log indicates that the section with the best assays contains numerous alteration zones and quartz stringers containing visible pyrite and chalcopyrite. Some shearing was observed in these rocks at depth.
