Lithology Comments

Jul 15, 2020 (Therese Pettigrew) - The occurrence is underlain by a steeply dipping, bedded sequence of metavolcanic tuffs. The strike of the bedding is approximately 050 degrees. The metatuffs are felsic to intermediate in composition and contain pumaceous fragments. Units containing quartz and/or feldspar phenocrysts are intercalated with the tuffaceous rocks. Later dykes of gabbro, lamprophyre and granitoid plutonic material intrude the tuffs (Durocher et al., 1987).




Mineralization Comments

Jul 15, 2020 (Therese Pettigrew) - Sample NP-4 returned 2850 ppb Au from a sandstone (Assessment report 52N04SW0134).
