Dec 07, 2005 (K R Kettles) - Mafic metavolcanic flows are the dominant rock type in the area. They strike NE-SW, and dip steeply to the NW. Pillow structures are common, and stratigraphic tops are to the NW. The pillowed flows include amygdaloidal, variolitic and magnesian rich types. Small quartz diorite intrusions are present in the area. A quartz vein striking N50deg.E and dipping at about 70 deg. to the west is exposed over a distance of about 18 m along strike. It has an average thickness of about 30 cm. The vein occurs in a 2.7 m wide shear zone in which the rocks have been carbonatized and silicified.

Nov 12, 2014 (K R Kettles) - The quartz vein was sampled in a trench and returned the following assays: Gold: nil Silver: 1.04 oz/ton (35.656 g/tonne) Copper: 1.2% Lead: 4.0% Zinc: nil Only low gold values were obtained from drill core, the best being 0.06 oz/ton(2.057 g/tonne) over 1.5 m in sheared basalt.
Dec 07, 2005 (K R Kettles) - The mafic flows are locally highly sheared, carbonatized and silicified.
