Dec 07, 2005 (K R Kettles) - The occurrence is situated in an area that is primarily underlain by massive to foliated mafic metavolcanic flows. These units strike SW-NE and dip steeply northwest. Thin units of argillaceous sulphide iron formation and mafic to intermediate tuffs are intercalated with the flows. Narrrow quartz diorite dikes have intruded the tuffaceous units. A 7 m wide northeastward striking zone of shearing and carbonate mineralization has been exposed by stripping. Quartz-carbonate stringers, ranging in thickness from a few cm to 30 cm, lie parallel to sub-parallel to the direction of shearing. These stringers are mineralized with pyrite, pyrrhotite and chalcopyrite, and are reported to contain visible gold.

Dec 07, 2005 (K R Kettles) - Surface work returned only erratic values in gold.
Dec 07, 2005 (K R Kettles) - The mafic metavolcanics in the area contain abundant biotite and have been silicified and carbonatized. Minor scheelite has been recognized in the area, and tourmaline has been noted in some of the quartz-carbonate stringers.
