The deposit is well understood geologically. The Edna May Gneiss (EMG) is a metamorphosed tonalitic granitoid within a mafic-ultramafic stratigraphy. It hosts the gold mineralisation which occurs as sheeted quartz, minor sulphide veining, generally parallel to strike and less frequent larger quartz lodes/reefs which cross-cut the gneiss with a more northerly strike and westerly dip. The gneiss strikes east-west (100-120°) and dips at 50-60° to the north. It has a strike length of 1,000m, a width of 50–150m and depth extent of at least 700m. Significant background Au anomalism (0.1 - 0.5 g/t) is present, associated with alteration intensity, proximity to veining and micro-fracturing. Visible gold is frequently seen in drill core in close association with veining and gravity recovery is very high for a low-grade deposit at around 50%.Hosted by the Edna May Gneiss, a metamorphosed granitoid with strike length of 1km, width of 140m and depth extent of 700m and bounded by a maficultramafic stratigraphy. Mineralisation relates to widespread quartz veining, which occurs as thin sheeted foliation parallel or larger cross-cutting reef veins with a polymetallic sulphide assemblage. Mineralisation forms a broad low-grade stockwork throughout the gneiss. Greenfinch deposit very similar.DimensionsEdna May gneiss unit is a lenticular body, typically 50-150m thick, 1000m long and defined down-dip to 700m. It strikes east-west and dips N at 50-60°. Internal high-grade quartz reefs occur and strike N-NE and dip 45-50 W. These are generally 100m in length and 2-4m wide.
