Feb 28, 2018 (Therese Pettigrew) - The showing is in a set of northeast-trending olivine diabase dykes part of which are cut by a major porphyritic-textured diabase dyke. Work done on the property consisted of trenching and blasting along the south edge of an olivine diabase ridge, where sulphide gossans are exposed in a thin zone along the edge of the dyke. A grab sample of trench material taken by J. Geul yielded 0.15% Cu and 0.08% Ni upon analysis (Geul, 1973).
