Small-scale mafic-ultramafic related Cu-Ni-PGE deposit, with reserves of 8.33 tonnes Pt/Pd, consisting of two orebodies in five gabbro and diorite intrusions that trend N-NE along an EW-trending fault. The orebodies occur at the base of a diopside layer and the top of an olivine-diposide layer in lenses and bands that range from several tens to 420 m long and up to 17 m thick. The minerals occur as disseminations, masses, veinlets, stockworks and breccia. The host intrusions are widely but weakly altered, with minor external alteration to chlorite and serpentinite, and alteration to amphibole, serpentine, chlorite, carbonate, biotite and iddingsite in the diopside-olivine layers.
