Dec 07, 2005 (K R Kettles) - The southern part of the property is underlain by a sequence of greywacke, conglomerate, iron formation, black slates, and banded chert beds. The strata strike NE-SW and dip 60 degs S. The northern and western part of the property are underlain by an intercalated sequence of basalt, dacite, rhyolite, conglomerate, and tuff units. A 60 m wide band of talc-chlorite schist crosses most of the property in a north-northeast direction and separates the two sequences of basalt rocks. Sevaral types of felsic porphyry and mafic dikes have intruded all parts of the stratigraphic sequences. At least 3 NE-SW striking faults cut the rocks on the property. The sedimentary rocks in the southeastern part of the property have also been complexly folded. Gold mineralization occurs in quartz and quartz-carbonate veins in altered basalts. The magnetometer survey indicates that the volcanics have been folded along with the sediments in the area.

Dec 07, 2005 (K R Kettles) - The dikes which have intruded all parts of the stratigraphic sequence consist of Quartz monzonite porphyry, feldspar porphyry, diorite, feldspar-diorite porphyry, and lamprophyre dikes.

Dec 07, 2005 (K R Kettles) - Gold Mineralization occurs in 4 main N-S striking veins. The veins range in thickness from less than 0.3 m to 1.2 m. Several perpendicular branch veins are also present, and where they intersect the main veins, vein thicknesses as wide as 6.1 m have been observed. Development work carried out during 1960 indicated that the ore extended for 488 m on the 155 m level, 213.5 m on the 183 m level, and 91.5 m on the 285 m level. The main veins strike almost N-S, except at the north end, where the veins strike E-W. Several off shoot veins have been noted which are perpendicular to the main veins. Exploration and underground development outlined an estimated 270,000 tons of ore with an average grade of 0.31 opt Au.

Dec 07, 2005 (K R Kettles) - The metavolcanics have been weakly to strongly carbonatized and silicified. Ultramafic rocks have been altered to talc chlorite schists.
