Dec 07, 2005 (K R Kettles) - This area is underlain by east-west striking, vertically dipping mafic flows and felsic volcanic rocks. Talcose ultramafic rocks occur below 30 m depth. The felsic volcanic rocks are sericitized, silicified, chloritized, and contain quartz stringers. An auriferous zone 1.2 to 1.5 m wide has been encountered in the felsic rocks in two drill holes.

Oct 14, 2020 (Therese Pettigrew) - The gold occurrence located on a point of land on the north shore of Middle Bay, at the entrance into Phillips Channel, occurs within east-trending, mafic, metavolcanic flows intercalated with felsic flows and pyroclastic rocks. A very massive, siliceous, nondescript grey rock has been exposed by stripping at the occurrence (Atkinson et al., 1992).

Mar 23, 2012 (K R Kettles) - A possibly shear-hosted quartz-carbonate stringer zone in altered felsic volcanics carries gold over a 1.2 m to 1.5 m width.Drilling in 1965 by Cochenour Willans gave the following assays: GRADE 1965 DDH-65-1: 0.24 OPT AU/0.61M,0.06 OPT AU/0.61M, GRADE 1965 DDH-65-2A: 0.27 OPT AU/0.46M, 0.05 OPT AU/1.07 M. 2003. Goldcorp took multiple samples, highest assay returned 3.06 ppm Au
Dec 07, 2005 (K R Kettles) - The felsic volcanics are silicified, and altered to sericite and chlorite near and within the sheared zone.
