Dec 07, 2005 (K R Kettles) - The prospect is underlain by E-W striking pillowed lavas. A thin E-W striking band of greywacke, underlies the center of the prospect. The sediments are intruded by several dikes ranging in composition from feldspar porphyry to siliceous quartz diorite. Some sulphide mineralization and alteration is associated with these dikes. At least 2, possibly 3 dikes have been noted. They strike E-W and dip 70 degrees to the north. Gold is located in quartz carbonate stringers associated with the diorite dikes. Stringers were also noted in the greywackes close to the diorite dikes. Generally higher gold values occur in zones containing abundant pyrite mineralization. The feldspar porphyry and diorite dikes have an exposed strike length of about 250 m.

Dec 07, 2005 (K R Kettles) - Drilling indicated many low values ranging from 0.01 oz/ton (0.342 g/tonne) to 0.08 oz/ton (2.742 g/tonne) Au.
Dec 07, 2005 (K R Kettles) - The sediments surrounding the diorite and feldspar porphyry dikes show some alteration with occasional carbonate stringers.
