This occurrence is reported to be underlain by a reddish volcanic conglomerate in the vicinity of the old "August" prospect, at roughly the same elevation. The rock carries well-rounded volcanic boulders up to 45 centimetres in diameter. The beds strike north and dip 40 degrees to the east. The beds are cut by a very fine-grained felsite dyke which strikes at 55 degrees and dips 60 degrees northeast. The dyke is locally altered to a soft greenish mass.

Flat lenses of quartz containing a little bornite and chalcopy- rite occur on either, and/or both, sides of this felsite dyke. The lenses are about one metre thick and can be traced for about 300 metres along the outcrop. Assays of samples taken from the best mineralized parts of the vein contained from 6.9 to 13.7 grams per tonne gold across widths of 50 to 61 centimetres.
