Mineralization consists of clast-supported breccia
with massive bornite matrix. Clasts consist of biotite-altered syenite. Selected grab
samples from 2000 are reported to contain up to 3.459 g/t Pd, 0.66 g/t Pt, 26-38% Cu and
13-18 g/t Au. |

main showing, from which an outcrop grab sample from a small massive sulphide zone
containing pyrrhotite, chalcopyrite, pyrite, magnetite, violarite, and millerite yielded
>10% Cu, 0.30% Ni, 612 ppm Co, 487 ppm Cr, 20 g/t Ag, 1 g/t Au, 2 g/t Pt and 12 g/t Pd. |
