Aug 31, 2017 (Therese Pettigrew) - A narrow alteration zone of varying width consists of silicified mafic metavolcanics with fuchsite, chlorite and epidote locally. The zone occurs in fine-grained mafic metavolcanics and to the north of a 10-15 foot wide feldspar porphyry dyke trending 075 degrees azimuth. The zone subparallels the dyke approaching it to the west (AFRI 52F05SW0059).
