Mineralised basal contact of the ultramafic formation, dipping 45 degrees west, or east by 60 degrees. The Footwall is amphibolite. The host contains olivine, tremolite, serpentine, anthophyllite, talc, chlorite rock. Sulphides are disseminated, patchy in the upper levels, of dominant pyyrhotite and
lesser pentlandite. Breccia ore is found as a 12 cm layer in one section. The pentlandite contains magnetite veinlets. Chalcopyrite minor. Grades at 2-4% Ni.

The Mindat co-ordinates are approximate.
