Dec 07, 2005 (K R Kettles) - The northern half of the property is underlain mainly by altered mafic metavolcanic flows with a few intercalated iron formation units. The flow strikes at about 110 degs and dip between 45 to 60 degs SW. They have been silicified and carbonatized, and are locally garnetiferous. The southern half of the property is underlain by a 400 m thick, shallowly dipping unit of sulphide-bearing iron formation.
