Lithology Comments

Dec 07, 2005 (A Wilson) - Elevated zinc values are returned from a mixed unit of graphitic argillite and massive graphite. The anomalous zinc values are found below what is reportedly a 17 m wide fault zone. The unit may represent relict iron formation. Cherty argillite was observed in the foot wall of the anomalous zone.
