Dec 07, 2005 (K R Kettles) - The area is underlain by felsic and mafic volcanic rocks, gabbro, peridotite, and chemical sediments including iron formation. A mineralized shear zone in the felsic volcanics strikes N53 degs W, and dips 60 degs NE.

Mar 22, 2012 (K R Kettles) - A shear zone 4.5 m wide and continuous over about 60 m contains auriferous veins up to 2 m wide, including the width of a silicified zone in host rocks. Ore minerals are gold with minor pyrite, and they occur in white to light grey quartz. Assays by Holbrooke (1962) range from 0.20 opt Au/1.8 m, .07 opt Au/0.61 m, .03 opt Au/ .45 m, and .01 opt Au /0.9 m.. 2008: most significant assays retuned from 0.93 g/t Au to 2.21 g/t Au. Taken from shear with quartz veins within a rhyolite. (trench from 1930's)
Dec 07, 2005 (K R Kettles) - The wall rocks to the shear zone are silicified within the shear zone, these are the felsic metavolcanics.
