Dec 07, 2005 (K R Kettles) - GEOLOGICAL DESCRIPTION: Horwood (1940) refers to a gold occurrence on KRL 11980, but from old claim maps it is apparent that this must be a typographical error. The showing appears to be located on KRL 10980. The claim is underlain by northeast striking vertically dipping chert-magnetite iron formation and sandstone, overlain to the souteast by felsic tuff and mafic lava. The showing consists of a 'carbonate zone' about 20 m wide (Horwood, 1940) that may in facet be part of the sediments. Visible gold was found but work did not reveal commercial values.
