Jun 16, 2022 (Therese Pettigrew) - The mineralized zone, consisting of pyrite, pyrrhotite and chalcopyrite, occurs in a thin band of fractured early Precambrian felsic metavolcanics. The felsic volcanics lie within mafic metavolcanics near the south edge of a large gabbro sill. Trenching has indicated sulphides along a strike length of 610 m. The zone is locally up to 15 m wide
