Geology Comments

Dec 07, 2005 (K R Kettles) - GEOLOGICAL DESCRIPTION: The area is underlain by mafic metavolcanic flows. These units are massive to foliated and pillow structures have been observed in some of the flows. Stratigraphic tops are to the northwest. The units strike to the northeast and dip steeply to the northwest. Thin units of cherty iron formation are interbedded with the flows. DEPOSIT DESCRIPTION: Information is limited, but it appears that gold mineralization occurs in quartz-carbonate veins in altered mafic volcanics.
