Dec 07, 2005 (K R Kettles) - Felsic tuff and mafic lava are cross-cut by a small diorite stock. The diorite is fractured, and filled with auriferous quartz veins that strike roughly N-S and NW-SE. The mafic lava also contains quartz veins; these were found to carry gold 61 m west of the main showing.

Mar 23, 2012 (K R Kettles) - Gold, silver, minor pyrite and chalcopyrite occur in irregular quartz veins in a diorite stock. The quartz veins strike N-S and NW-SE. Assays by Holbrooke (1962) range from 1.25 opt Au/.37 m, .27 opt Au/.4 m.,05 opt Au/.85 m, .04 opt Au/.27 m, .08 opt Au/.43 m, .08 opt Au/.91 m, .04 opt Au/ .34 m, and .02 opt Au/.61 m in the diorite to .06 opt Au/1.13 m in the mafic flows. 2003. Goldcorp took multiple samples, highest assay returned 0.81 ppm Au
Sep 29, 2020 (Therese Pettigrew) - Extensive trenching has exposed a quartz stockwork in a gabbroic intrusive. Channel sampling done by Shane Resources Ltd. returned 0.14 oz/t Au over 2 m, 0.75 oz/t Au over 0.2 m, and 0.1 oz/t Au over 0.2 m (Assessment 52M01SE0069). Samples taken by Halo Resources in 2008 retuned up to 2.73 ppm Au (Assessment report 20000005180).
