Cuttings from Kakoonie 1 on the SW margin of the Black Hill complex indicate alternating intersections of gabbroic lithologies with modified marginal facies and altered contact rocks. Local compositional changes in the gabbros are evident and a general change from anorthositic at the top to ferromagnesian at depth is supported by geochemical data and possibly by geophysics. Mineral concentrates have low sulphide content and possible concentrations of 2 ppm Au, and 0.2 ppm of Pt and Pd in the sulphide. Sulphur may have been drawn from both mantle and country rock sources.
