Dec 07, 2005 (K R Kettles) - The occurrence is situated in an east-west striking band of mafic volcanics which is underlain to the north and overlain to the south by sequences of intercalated clastic and chemical sedimentary rocks. Rock units dip 50 to 60 degs south.

Nov 12, 2014 (K R Kettles) - Anomalous gold values occur in zones of altered mafic metavolcanic containing numerous quartz-carbonate stringers and occassional narrow stringers of massive sulphides. Two relatively short, weak anomalies with an associated magnetometer anomaly of 1500 gammas are situated above the anomalous zones.

Feb 24, 2012 (K R Kettles) - Anomalous gold values occur in zones of altered mafic metavolcanic containing numerous quartz-carbonate stringers and occassional narrow stringers of massive sulphides. Two relatively short, weak anomalies with an associated magnetometer anomaly of 1500 gammas are situated above the anomalous zones. Assays of core samples from this hole (# K-69-1)returned interesting silver values but only trace amounts of gold. 10 intersections are mention with the following range of assays: 10.37 to 10.74 m - 0.14 opt Ag; 59.96 to 60.60 m - 0.22 opt Ag; 76.25 to 76.86 m - 5.00 opt Ag; 93.21 to 94.43 m - 0.18 opt Ag; 95.65 to 97.39 m - 3.92 opt Ag; 98.39 to 99.31 m - 0.50 opt Ag; 99.77 to 101.26 m - 0.32 opt Ag; 103.55 to 103.85 m - 0.88 opt Ag; 108.12 to 110.41 m - 0.74 opt Ag; 116.05 - 118.10 - 0.60 opt Ag. 2005: Gold Corp completed a 6 hole drill program, best assay returned 1810 ppb Au over 0.3 m.
Dec 07, 2005 (K R Kettles) - The mafic metavolcanics have been silicified and carbonatized, and are locally biotitic and garnetiferous.
