Mike please interpret:

The Lipangue Breccia outcrops on the contact between the granodiorites of the Central Batholith and the massive andesites of Formacion Veta Negra of Upper Cretaceous age. The breccia pipe is exposed on surface over an area of 250 by 150 meters but a much larger area is covered with limonitic fragments and crystalline quartz float from the breccia. The margins of the breccia pipe exposed in several re-excavated bulldozer trenches consist of highly altered and leached granodiorite carrying evidence of intense pyritization

The section of high resistivity indicated on Profile A between Stations 400 and 1,100 is believed due to silicification related to hornfelsing of the andesites caused by intrusion of the granodiorites. An IP anomaly under Station 400 on Line A may be due to increased magnetite content within the andesites. The IP anomaly under Stations 600 to 800 may be due to the same phenomenon although geological mapping did not show the same degree of hornfelsing as was observed at Station 400.

A further area of anomalous polarization occurs on Line I between Stations 500 and 800, associated with moderate resistivity values. The anomaly is considered characteristic of the granodiorites in the area, as geological mapping has shown this granodiorite to be propyllitically altered. An old pit with much malachite stain outcrops within 150 meters of Station 500. Samples of the granodiorite taken adjacent to Line I from Station 400 to Station 500 and easterly to the old pit were anomalous in copper, ranging from 28 ppm Cu to 287 ppm Cu with one sample near the copper showing returning 1563 ppm Cu.
