The ultramafic to mafic, intrusive to extrusive rocks range in composition from dunites and pyroxenites, to periodititic and basaltic komatiites. The felsic and an intermediate rocks are comprised of granite to dacites and tonalites. These rocks occupy an elongate northwest trending zone within a volcano-sedimentary sequence.

Planned Activities: During calendar year 2008, UME expects to complete detailed mapping and sampling of the project area.
