Comments: The company was exploring for VMS-style mineralization. Drilling was designed to test stratigraphy uphill from the main geochemical anomalies and ferricrete gossans. The drilling returned intersections of black phyllite and grey siltstone with quartz-healed fractures, tension gashes, veins and veinlets . Pyrite, the only sulphide mineral encountered in the drilling, occurs as fine grained wisps and laminations in the clastic sedimentary rock and as coarser grained cubes in fractures and parallel to foliation. Cadmium, molybdenum, vanadium and, to a lesser degree, copper returned elevated values.
