Serpentinized green peridotite to dunite ultramafic lens, 1600 x 50 metres, striking north north-west. It is different from the other nickel prospects in the area as it contains thin veins of massive nickel sulphide of violarite, pyrrhotite, pyrite, and chalcopyrite on the sheared eastern contact between the serpentinized peridotite envelope of the dunitic core and the adjacent meta-sediments.
