Cu-Pb-Zn prospect. Prominent siliceous gossan , with some malachite staining along a ridge for a length of 500 metres, and 20 metres wide. Under this is marble with finely disseminated galena, very coarse grained honey-brown coloured sphalerite, chalcopyrite, and pyrite. Hosted by cordierite-quartzite, and cordierite-garnet-quartz-sillimanite-biotite gneiss. The deposit is on the western limb and north axial zone of an upright south plunging synform.
