Dec 07, 2005 (P Hinz) - The area is underlain by intermediate to felsic metavolcanics which have undergone intensive alteration, including silicification and sericitization. Silicified sericite schist is present along strike from intermediate flows and tuffs. The sericite-chloritoid schists display no preserved primary textures, but are likely the altered equivalents of the intermediate metavolcanics. Gabbro, quartz-feldspar and feldspar porphyries, sills and dikes intrude the metavolcanics, with the felsic porphyry apparently being a later intrusive event. Diabase dikes appear to be the latest intrusive event. Shallow water metasediments unconformably over-lie the Bad Vermilion intrusion and consist of conglomerate, sandstone, siltstone and ironstone, believed to be derived from a volcanic source area (Woods et al., 1980). (Schnieders and Dutka 1985).

Dec 07, 2005 (P Hinz) - Quartz veins hosted by silicified sericite schist are present on the Dinosaur property. Early reports indicated that small lenses of quartz porphyry were present, with the borders altered and sheared to sericite schist. In the area of the Dinosaur occurrence, the metavolcanic belt is approximately 1.5 to 2.0 kilometres wide and consists primarily of intermediate flows and pillowed flows. The sericite schist may represent the altered equivalent of the intermediate metavolcanics.
