Jul 18, 2022 (Q Unknown) - The occurrence is underlain by amphibolitized, massive, mafic, metavolcanic flows approximately 400 m east of the contact between the dioritic rocks of the Revell Batholith and mafic metavolcanics.

Jul 18, 2022 (Q Unknown) - Numerous trenches have been sunk along a shear zone striking 310°/ 88° - 90° SW for at least 113 m. The shear zone hosts a 7.6 m to 9.1 m wide quartz vein interbanded with 0.3 m to 0.6 m wide sections of wall rock. The quartz vein is milk-white with gray, pink, red, and rusty brown sections, and generally contains disseminated pyrite with local concentrations up to 10%. The wall rock is fissile, rusty, chloritic, pyritic and moderately carbonatized with some sericitization and silicification. The vein was traced to the northwest where it terminates in a large swampy area, but could not be traced to the southeast. The mafic metavolcanic flows at the occurrence are pillowed, amygdaloidal, variolitic, amphibolitized, and intruded by feldspar porphyry and granitic dikes striking in all directions. Grab samples of the quartz vein, taken by the author, assayed 9 ppb gold, 28 ppb gold, and 675 ppb gold. A grab sample of the quartz vein, taken by C.E. Blackburn, assayed 4.38 ounces gold per ton and 0.26 ounce silver per ton. (OFR 5723, p. 262)
