Dec 07, 2005 (K R Kettles) - GEOLOGICAL DESCRIPTION: The occurrence is situated in a quartz-feldspar porphyry dyke which has been intruded along the contact between mafic flows and clastic sedimentary rocks. All rock units strike NE-SW and dip steeply to the southwest. DEPOSIT DESCRIPTION: The occurrence is situated within a quartz-feldspar porphyry dyke that has a maximum thickness of 24 m, and contains small auriferous quartz stringers. The dyke has an approximate strike length of 600 m. GEOPHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: An EM anomaly showing poor conductivity is present in the locality. Coinciding with the EM anomaly is a narrow magnetic anomaly of over 10,000 gammas relief.

Dec 07, 2005 (K R Kettles) - MDI1 DATA: GRADE 1937 CHIP SAMPLES FROM TRENCHES: RANGING FROM NIL TO 0.24 OPT AU OVER 1.5 M, GRADE 1937 DDH: CORE FROM UNDER THE SHOWING:0.18 OPT AU OVER 4.6 M (FROM OFR 5558) 1.5 m long chip samples taken from trenches returned assays ranging from nil to 0.24 oz/ton (8.228 g/tonne) Au. A 4.6 m section of drill core from under the showing assayed 0.18 oz/ton (6.171 g/tonne) Au. The occurrence is situated within a quartz-feldspar porphyry dyke that has a maximum thickness of 24 m, and contains small auriferous quartz stringers. The dyke has an approximate strike length of 600 m.
Jul 30, 2020 (Therese Pettigrew) - DDH 92-2 returned 0.01 oz/t Au over 1 foot (0.34 g/t Au over 0.3 m) from the quartz porphyry and 0.07 oz/t Au over 2.5 feet (2.4 g/t Au over 0.76 m) from a chloritic unit (Assessment report 52N04SW0025).
Dec 07, 2005 (K R Kettles) - The mafic volcanics adjacent to the dyke contain appreciable carbonate and pyrite. The porphyry dyke appears to have been silicified.
