Lithology Comments

Jan 20, 2014 (A Wilson) - Diamond drilling intersected 35.4 ft of massive graphitic schist. There are approximately 1-90% sulphides as massive spherules or globules of pyrite masked by quartz-carbonate haloes. The underlying andesitic tuff contains pyrrhotite and pyrite bands. The overlying andesite to basalt contains minor sulphides.
