A continuous stratified section of rhyolite and dacite tuffs trends northwesterly-southeasterly across the property. A pyritic rhyolite tuff horizon is well foliated, dips steeply to the south- west and has undergone low-grade metamorphism to a quartz-sericite- schist. Dacite tuffs, flows and plagioclase porphyries occur above and below the rhyolitic tuff horizon. The dacite has undergone mild to moderate chlorite and epidote alteration and local silicification. The Dick Showing consists of massive magnetite and pyrite beds interbedded with semi-massive magnetite and pyrite lenses in dacite tuff on the footwall side of the rhyolitic tuff. Mineralized beds are 0.3 to 1.0 metres thick. The mineralization carries significant copper values. Both the rhyolite tuff and dacite tuff are cut by small quartz-pyrite plus or minus chalcopyrite veins with magnetite and epidote also being common vein constituents in the dacite tuff.
In 1998 Sand River Resources drilled the Dick showing hoping to intersect a composite zone of narrow less than 50 centimetre bands of massive to semi massive sphalerite, magnetite and pyrite in a chlorite and epidote bearing altered andesite tuff. However the hole failed to intersect the horizon - so potential remains uncertain.
