    volcanic pile that is underlain by a composite trondhjemite-tonalite-gabbro-anorthosite intrusion. Zn is predominant in this volcanic complex, with lesser Cu, indicating shallow water and (or) low temperature mineralization process affected the rocks. Au has been documented in the volcanic pile, but may represent orogenic style mineralization. These metal assemblages and the geometry of the volcanic pile are similar to Sturgeon lake VMS camp (e.g. Hudak 2003), indicating it has potential for hosting

    layer of andesite breccia -a fast cooling extrusive rock that has not traveled far from its original deposition. This indicates a volcanic depositional environment. This formation was then intruded by intrusive slower cooling rocks that create a noncomformity between it and the Walker formation. The tuff breccia in the Walker formation is consistent with the same depositional environment as the andesite breccia formation as they are both extrusive rocks. It is possible that there was an eruption from
