May 14, 2020 (Therese Pettigrew) - The area is underlain by intermediate pyroclastics and flows interbedded with mafic flows and thin felsic units (Davies 1965, 1969) and may be within a zone of shear folding. A transition from lower felsic volcanics to upper mafic volcanics is interpreted to occur here (Davies 1978). A steeply north-dipping foliation trends east-northeast and is best developed in the pyroclastic rocks. The area is in the southern part of a zone marginal to the Crowduck Lake - Witch Bay Shear Zone (Davies and Smith, 1988).
May 14, 2020 (Therese Pettigrew) - It was reported (Coleman 1896) that shafts 5 and 6 m deep were sunk on two veins striking 110 degrees and 130 degrees, respectively. The veins were said to be 1.5 m wide, with assays of 0.125 oz Au/ton at the surface and 0.575 oz Au/ton at the bottom of the shafts.
