Geological Summary
The property is underlain largely by Karmutsen basalts, cut by several small coeval diabase bodies and by a Jurassic(?) diorite stock. The more significant mineral showings include gold, copper in a narrow pyritic shear zone, and in a massive sulphide body of uncertain origin, both within basalt; and magnetite and pyrrhotite, locally with gold, copper in variably altered and deformed basalt close to major faults.
