Dr. Peter Lightfoot, Metallis’ Technical Advisor, commented: “Gabbroic rocks have been located in association with the Jurassic-aged Texas Creek plutonic suite which was emplaced close to the boundary between andesitic volcanic rocks and sedimentary rocks of the Hazelton formation in the footprint of the Thunder North claim block. These rocks may extend beneath young volcanic cover to the immediate west where unexplained conductivity has been identified VTEM survey. Metallis is continuing the search for magmatic sulfide mineralization associated with small structurally-controlled differentiated mafic intrusions.” (See link to Thunder North Geological Model)
