Geological Summary
NUMEROUS AMPHIBOLITE BANDS TO SEVERAL METRES THICK ARE INTERLAYERED WITH LEUCOCRATIC QUARTZ FELDSPATHIC GNEISS. IT IS LIKELY THAT A SWARM OF MAFIC SILLS OR DYKES RELATED TO THE UPPER TRIASSIC KARMUTSEN VOLCANICS WAS INTRUDED INTO SICKER GROUP ROCKS AND WERE METAMORPHOSED TO AMPHIBOLITE AND GNEISS RESPECTIVELY. ONE SILL IS ULTRAMAFIC IN COMPOSITION AND CONTAINS ABUNDANT COPPER-NICKEL SULPHIDES WITH SIGNIFICANT PALLADIUM AND MINOR PLATINUM VALUES.
