Dec 07, 2005 (K R Kettles) - The occurrence occurs in mafic metavolcanic flows along the contact with a gabbroic phase of the Howey Diorite. Both the mafic volcanic and the gabbroic intrusive rocks are well foliated. The foliation in the vicinity of the occurrence strikes N40W degrees and dips vertically. Small porphyry dikes are also present in the volcanic rocks and gabbroic intrusion. The rocks immediately adjacent to the porphyry dikes locally contain abundant sulphide mineralization.

Dec 07, 2005 (K R Kettles) - Gold mineralizaiton occurs in 2 geological settings in the area. In drill hole P.13 the contact between mafic metavolcanics and the mineralized edge of a porphyry dike was auriferous, and drill hole P.15 intersected auriferous massive sulphides in mafic metavolcanics. Grab samples from trenches returned assays of up to 0.08 opt. 2 drill holes intersected auriferous zones, returning assays of 0.11 opt Au over 30 cm and 0.19 opt Au over 30 cm.
