The Iron Cap Gold Prospect is located north of the main trace of the MSZ and comprises a quartz reef,or iron-rich quartzite, striking east-west and dipping 45° to 70° north. The reef lies on the contact between basement gneiss and schist, and was traced for 960m along strike. The reef decreases from up to 6m in width toward the east to 0.6m toward the west. Sampling of the reef recorded up to 22g/t Au. The average grade from surface sampling was 1.58g/t Au in the thicker eastern portion of the reef, and 11g/t Au in the thinner western portion of the reef. Sampling of underground workings is reported to have returned an average of 3.8g/t Au.
