The trenches follow a rusty-weathering zone trending 070 degrees within buff to pale grey dolomitic marble. The zone is at least 10m wide and contains narrow (20 to 30cm) zones of quartz veining that strike 070 degrees and dip about 80 degrees south, with intense hematitic alteration in the marble bordering the veins. The veins are generally 1 to 3 cm wide, contorted and boudinaged within the zones. Other than a trace of chalcopyrite in marble adjacent to a mafic dike in trench #3, no sulphides were observed in the quartz veins or wall roc
