Sep 24, 2018 (Therese Pettigrew) - A small exposure with minor amounts of copper-bearing minerals (malachite, chalcopyrite and bornite) was found at the contact between silicic flow breccia and metabasalt, near an intrusion of metagabbro. This exposure is 1.6 km due south of Tunnel Island. An assay of a grab sample yielded 0.3% Cu and a trace of gold (Kaye, 1967).
