2.11 13Some green clay + phlogopites - kimbelite breccia?
3.13 20Polymict breccia - felsic gneiss, quartzite, Schist.
4.20 26Decomposed light grey clay abundant - non - kimberlitic.
5.26 31The remainder of the hole (except 94-95m) consists of entirely fariable, quartz, biotite Schist are pink feldspar gneiss in varying proportions. The Schist is generally most abundant.
6.31 39(pfg - pink feldspar gneiss qz - biot = quartz biotite Schist.)
7.39 4790% qz - biot - Schist, 10% pf gneiss.
8.47 49Small percentage laminated clay - decomposed Schist.
9.49 59100% pfg
10.59 6260% Schist + 40% pfg.
11.62 6980% pfg, 20% Schist.
12.69 79>90% qz biot - sch.
13.79 81Schist is sulphide bearing.
14.81 93100% Schist.
15.93 9990% Schist but approximately 10% of featureless, light brown, non - foliated, phlog bearing kimberlite. Definitely not Schistose sample submitted for petrography under consignment no mak/92/043.
16.99 110From 95m - EOH at 110m is dominantly qz - fsp biot - Schist with the occosional pfg inclusions.
