Feb 11, 2011 (J Bongfelt) - Geology The occurrence is situated within massive and pillowed mafic metavolcanic flows of the Eagle Lake Volcanics and is 1.6 km east of the contact between the mafic metavolcanics and the granitic rocks of the Atikwa Batholith. (OFR 5723, pg. 214)
Feb 11, 2011 (J Bongfelt) - Lithology Two 0.9 m to 6.0 m wide, subparallel, north- and north-northeast-trending shear zones are crosscut by an east-trending, 2 m wide shear zone in mafic metavolcanic flows. The wall rocks are chloritized, sericitized, and moderately carbonatized. The north-trending shears host narrow quartz-iron carbonate-tourmaline veins and stringers, containing up to 5% disemminated pyrite and chalcopyrite with associated malachite and azurite. The quartz has a "sugary" texture which may indicate recrystallization. (OFR 5723, pg. 214)

Feb 11, 2011 (J Bongfelt) - Mineralization Four grab samples, taken by the author, from the pyrite and chalcopyrite-bearing quartz veins assayed: 0.01 ounce gold per ton with 5760 ppm copper, < 0.01ounce gold per ton with 1640 ppm copper, 0.02 ounce gold per ton with 4880 ppm copper, and 0.22 ounce gold per ton with 0.46 ounce silver per ton, and 2.22% copper. The grab samples which assayed gold are the first discovery of gold at the occurrence. (OFR 5723, pg. 214)
