Apr 01, 2014 (D Draper) - Two parallel zones of iron formation 1.2 km apart and traced for 4.8km with a strike of 060 deg az, and steeply dipping to the south. North Zone 60 - 122m wide; South Zone 244 - 305m wide. Iron formation is interbedded with Archean greywacke, phyllite, quartzite and graphitic phyllite. North Zone consists of pyrite and pyrrhotite with some magnetite in greywacke and quartzite; South Zone contains magnetite-hematite-jasper rich sections in argillite and greywacke.
