Dec 07, 2005 (K R Kettles) - The occurrence is located in an area primarily underlain by mafic volcanic flows. These units are massive to foliated: strike to the NE and dip subvertically. A thin interflow cherty iron formation unit containing sulphides hosts an auriferous quartz vein. The quartz contains minor amounts of pyrrhotite and chalcopyrite and stikes slightly to the north of east. No conductors were located as the geophysics were stopped south of the occurrence.
