Dec 07, 2005 (A Wilson) - The property is underlain by mafic metavolcanic rocks (pillows, tuffs, flows), massive coarse grained amphibolite units and a granodiorite. The elevated gold values are found in a fold nose. Elevated gold values are concentrated at the sericitized contact between felsic tuff-schist and/or felsic intrusive.
