Hole 118, drilled to the north, returned multiple intersections of high grade gold, and is interpreted to have intersected three limbs of east-west trending metasediments.
Mineralization identified to date by trenching and drilling, spread out over an approximately 975 meter East - West distance on the Zone 2 gold-in-soil trend, appears to be hosted by a series of sill - like granitoid bodies hosted within a folded metasediment - metavolcanic rock sequence.
This mineral field is a proterozoic age sequence of metasediments intruded by later stage granites.
