Dec 07, 2005 (K R Kettles) - Geological Description: This locality is underlain by mafic lava, felsic tuff and serpentinized, talcose and carbonatized ultramafic rocks. The tuff is altered to a white colour possibly indicating silicification, and contains irregular quartz veins that carry small amounts of pyrite. The tuff immediately adjacent to some of the vein walls has been altered to fuchsite. Visible gold has been reported from a quartz veinlet (Thomson 1946).
