1. | 0 | 1 | Topsoil |
2. | 1 | 2 | Topsoil with quartz and febric basement rubble. |
3. | 2 | 4 | Basement rubble, silicified kimberlite (1%), clay 1%. |
4. | 4 | 5 | Basement rubble no kimberlite evident. |
5. | 5 | 9 | 50% green kimberlitic clay, 50% basement rubble, no kimberlite clay, dominant quartzite rubble. |
6. | 9 | 15 | Quartzite, Amphiboliteibolite, pink feldspar gneiss rubble set in a gritty matrix. |
