| | Property Geology:
|
| | DPFZ -- Destor-Porcupine Fault Zone. The property is predominantly underlain with mafic metavolcanics and intercalated sediments comprised of greywackes and siltstones. A narrow suite of ultramafics crosscuts the north part of the property. Some drilling was done in 1964 in the central portion of the property to test two east-west trending conductors. The drilling intersected narrow graphitic horizons within andesites. Minor chalcopyrite and sphalerite were encountered but there were no significant values. The target is believed to be VMS style mineralization. |
