Dec 07, 2005 (K R Kettles) - The occurrence is underlain by magnesian rich mafic metavolcanic flows which range from massive to pillowed. Thin sulphide iron formations have been recognized in drill core. The units generally strike to the northwest and are dipping at approximately 55 deg. to 75 deg. to the southwest. Anomalous silver values are located in sulphide bearing lenses and quartz-carbonate veins cutting metavolcanics.
