Geology Comments

Dec 07, 2005 (K R Kettles) - The showing is underlain by thick sequence of mafic metavolcanic flows. These flows vary fropm coarse grained gabbroic textured flows to pillowed flows. The showing is located on the eastern limb of a N-NE striking anticline. Foliation in the area is parallel to subparallel to the fold axis and dips steeply to the east. A qv up to 30 cm wide occurs in a shear zone striking about N88E and dipping 60N. The vein has been followed for approximately 60 m. No anomalous geophysical targets were found in the area.
