Dec 07, 2005 (K R Kettles) - The property is underlain by mafic metavolcanic flows and the Howey Diorite. The volcanic rocks are fine grained, massive to pillowed flows which strike approximately NW-SE and dip steeply SW. A 150 m wide E-W striking dike or sill of Howey Diorite hosts the gold mineralization.

Dec 07, 2005 (K R Kettles) - Several quartz veins were exposed for a distance of 15 to 30 m. The veins strike N20 degs E and dip steeply east. The width of the veins ranges from a few mm to 0.3 m, and narrow quartz stringers occur around the veins. Surface grab samples returned values ranging from 0.02 opt Au to 0.80 opt Au. Two shallow drill holes intersected quartz veins less than 30 m from surface, and returned assays of 1.0 opt Au/ 0.6 m.
Sep 01, 2022 (Q Unknown) - 1924: first reports of VG. Surface grab assay 0.02-0.8 opt Au; DDH section up to 1 opt Au /2 ft (DDH#1).
