Mar 30, 2007 (Mark Puumala) - This gold occurrence is located within a magnetite iron formation unit hosted within intermediate metavolcanic flows (Weidner 1987). Foliation is indicated to be variable, with strike ranging from 020 to 050 and dip ranging from 70 degrees toward the east to vertical. Mineralization at this location consists of 5% disseminated pyrite and 3% pyrrhotite, with these minerals likely to be replacing the primary magnetite. The most favourable reported assay was a value of 0.038 oz/ton Au obtained from a surface grab sample (Weidner 1987).
