Nov 21, 2014 (K R Kettles) - This area is underlain by siliceous dolomite marble, argillite, and felsic tuff, all striking roughly N50 degs W and dipping steeply to the north. Lean chert-carbonate magnetite iron formation containing pyrite, chalcopyrite, gold and silver has been exposed in trenches.

Nov 21, 2014 (K R Kettles) - Gold, silver, minor pyrite and chalcopyrite occur in the lean iron formation. Grab samples collected in 1945 assayed : 0.18 oz/t Au over 0.61 m and in 1947 assayed 0.29 oz/t Au from a grab sample. In 1963 samples from trenches returned the following assays : 0.08 oz/t Au and 0.82 oz/t Ag over 30 m; 0.04 oz/t Au, 1.90 oz/t Ag, 0.70% Cu, trace Ni over 0.91m; 0.02 oz/t Au, 1.38 oz/t Ag, 0.45% Cu and trace Ni over 1.22 m., . 2003. Goldcorp took multiple samples, highest assay returned 0.91 ppm Au and 49 ppm Cu
Sep 30, 2020 (Therese Pettigrew) - Samples taken by Halo Resources in 2006 returned up to 1.16 g/t Au, 17.3 g/t Ag, and 509 ppm As from iron-stained metavolcanics with fine-grained pyrite (Assessment report 20000002000).
