A large scale map of the mineralized area was made and channel samples were taken for analysis. The ore is emplaced in west-trending fractures in diorite. Ore minerals are galena and sphalerite, together with small amounts of pyrite and chalcopyrite. Surface exposures of the narrow, discontinuous veins do not appear encouraging for further exploration and development
