Dec 07, 2005 (K R Kettles) - The area is primarily underlain by foliated metavolcanics, which have been altered to chlorite schist. These units strike NE-SW and dip steeply to the NW. Units with gabbroic textures have been observed, and may represent intrusions or coarse grained flows. Diabase and quartz-feldspar dikes intrude into the metavolcanics. Thin quartz stringers in sheared and altered mafic metavolcanics appear to host the gold mineralization.
