Feb 01, 2010 (J Bongfelt) - The occurrence is situated within massive. mafic. amphibolitized. metavolcanic flows approximately 200 m west of the contact between dioritic rocks of the Revell Batholith and the metavolcanics. (OFR5723, p.216)
Feb 01, 2010 (J Bongfelt) - A test pit has been sunk on hard, massive. aphanitic, dark gray-green, amphibolitized mafic metavolcanics which are weakly carbonatized. The metavo1canics contain finely disseminated pyrrhotite and large (up to 1 cm), elliptical (vesicle fillings?) concentrations of pyrrhotite and pyrite. Total sulphide content ranges between 10% and 20%. The wall rocks do not appear sheared but some sericitized, sheared rock was found in the dump near the pit. The sulphide zone hosts a 5 cm wide milk white quartz vein with red and rusty staining. (OFR5723, p.216)
