Mineralization Comments

Nov 25, 2019 (Therese Pettigrew) - The holes were put down in diorite, with lamprophyre and feldspar porphyry the other rock types encountered. These latter two rock types occurred only in short sections, and were interpreted as being dike-rocks. No mineralization was found in the lamprophyres, but both diorite and porphyry contained minor amounts of disseminated pyrite and chalcopyrite, and in one hole, molybdenite was found in a porphyry dike (Blackburn, 1976).
