Comments: Drilling tested the main sill. Geology of this hole consists primarily of fractured and faulted uTru (mafic and ultramafic intrusions) with rare quartz carbonate alteration and a 19 m thick package of PHp (Hasen Creek Formation). A number of samples collected from this hole returned significant results. Box Details: Very poorly labelled - some boxes mislabelled DDH-01-05!
