Dec 07, 2005 (A Wilson) - Elevated zinc values were obtained from a sheared and brecciated horizon within a mixed package of felsic tuffaceous rocks and metasedimentary rocks. A diamond drill hole drilled to the west of the sample intersected weakly to moderately sheared graphitic sandstone containing caronate-quartz veinlets. Pyrite, chalcopyrite were observed.
