11/26/2019 (T Pettigrew) - The area examined comprises light pinkish grey, medium-grained biotite 'granite'. There are three predominant joint sets: 120-145/85 E 3 m or more apart; 030/85 E 1.5 m or more apart; and 080-090/85 S. The outcrop surface is lichen-covered but does not appear to have great textural variations. There is a slight foliation trending 315 degrees in the western outcrops and only a few small knots in evidence. Aplite dikes 5 to 30 cm wide locally cut the granite. The dikes are usually several metres apart. The colour of the granite varies from light pink-grey to grey-brown; the grey-brown shade is predominant. Colour changes are gradational over distances of 50 to 100 m (Storey, 1986).
