Geological Summary |
The property is underlain by Jurassic Hazelton Group volcanics and sediments. A maroon, amygdeloidal andesite unit occurs along the northwest side of the grid. It coincides with a magnetic high. A grey, andesite and rhyolite clast, calcite cemented breccia occurs to the southeast of the andesite unit. It appears to strike north- northeast to northeast and dips 25 to 60 degrees west with tops to the east. Near the contact of these two units in a fine grained bed of the breccia, occurs a pyrite showing. It consists of a matrix with 20 to 30 per cent very fine grained, probably syngenetic, pyrite. Samples from this showing have graded up to 0.6 per cent zinc and 44 ppb silver. About 350 metres to the northeast, an outcrop of coarse breccia contains minor sphalerite and galena associated with the calcite matrix and veinlets. Grab samples grade up to 2.9 per cent zinc and 0.9 per cent lead have been taken.
