There are three common rock types: quartz (quartz-muscovite-graphite plus andalusite, kyanite and staurolite), green schist, (chlorite-actinolite-albite-epidote), and serpentinite (antigorite-magnetite-brucite).

    Other rocks recognized are: talc-magnasite schists, microgabbros, meta-ironstones (stilpnomelane-garnetcroissite-magnatite) and blue schist. The blue schist contains sodic amphibole (croissite or glaucophane), chlorite, epidote, garnet, albite, and stilpnomelane. The mineral assemblages suggest a high pressure upper greenschist to lower amphibolites metamorphic grade.

    There are approximately twenty drill holes in a narrow volcanogenic massive sulfide (Au, Ag, Cu, and Pb). This strike is approximately four miles in length.

0.193 oz. per ton Au, 4.038 oz. per ton Ag, 4.83% Cu and 3% Zn + 0.075% Pb, using a minimum five foot mining width average.

    Large portions of the property are available for drilling. Reserves are estimated at 1.5 million tons of ore averaging 0.07 oz. Au, 2.5 oz Ag,  3.5% Cu and 3% Zn. In ground value in 1983 prices were based at $200 per ton. 

   The deposit occurs within a Triassic series of meta-volcanic and meta-sedimentary rocks, with associated intrusive dikes and sills. Meta-sedimentary rocks include slaty argillites and siltstones, locally phyllitic to schistose, quartzite, chert, conglomerate and interbedded lenses of limestone (marble). Base and precious metal mineralization occurs throughout the meta-volcanic. Known deposits include volcanogenic stra-bound semi-massive to massive sulfide deposits, as well as numerous auriferous quartz veins and shears. High purity limestone and pods of rhodonite are found associated with the meta-sediments.

    Sulfide mineralization occurs as disseminated to massive sulfides in a silica exhalites. Numerous exhalites occur throughout the drilled portion of the target, ranging in true thickness from less than one foot to greater than fifty feet. The sulfides ( pyrite with minor chalcopyrite and sphalerite) are extensively leached at the surface and form a broad zone of limonite and gossan on the ridge above the deposit.

    Previous work to the property consisted of geochemical, airborne magnetic (mag) and Electro-magnetic (EM) surveys. In 1983 drilling intersected a five foot gold bearing horizon within a silicified flow that assayed .23 oz. Au per ton at 175’-180’ in depth. Stringers of semi-massive to massive sulfides assayed up to 1.8% Cu, as well as .23 oz per ton Au were cored in the drill hole. A strong mag anomaly ( 3000’ X 1500’) with corresponding strong EM anomalies within silicified and pyritized volcanic flows and breccias have been found 2500’ north of the drill hole. These anomalies correspond with the geochemical anomalies. There are four explorations targets on this property.
