is underlain by rocks of Mesoarchean and Neoarchean age separated by an unconformity along which extensive shearing is accompanied by iron carbonate alteration.
A priority exploration target for the 2004 field season on the Siderock property is the unconformity between Mesoarchean and Neoarchean rocks.
The northern part of the property is underlain by komatiitic and mafic flows and iron formation of Mesoarchean age.
