The reported 10 metre intercept is composed of 4 metres of abundant quartz, followed by 3 metres of metasediment followed by a further 3 metres of abundant quartz from the interval of 53 to 63 metres. The 10 metre interval stands out from the surrounding rock out as a distinct geological zone of alteration and concentration of quartz veining. The individual one metre descriptions and assays are as follows:
Metre from | Metre to | Rock type | Quartz vein fragments | Description | Sample number | gpt Au | gpt Au check |
