After the discovery of serpentinite underlying jasper cappings near Kenmore in 1967, a regional mapping and prospecting program was initiated which located eleven additional areas of jasper capping. Three of these were drilled, but serpentinite was found to be absent. It was concluded that the jasper cappings had formed on the more mafic interbands within the predominantly acid gneiss sequence. Relatively high nickel values can be explained by a process of enrichment during weathering.
