Figure 1. The distinctive shape of a J Fold hosting the three major deposits Reward, Bellbird, and Rockface as well as numerous prospects along the entire J-fold series of hills.

Figure 3. Magnetite and chlorite altered section of Psammopelite comprising a discordant breccia, the breccia comprises a dense open to closed framework of magnetite altered psammopelite enclaves locally with some containing secondary biotite and pyrite.
Figure 4. A high-strained mineralisation section from Rockface north lodes. The mineralisation comprises chalcopyrite which mantles and includes and earlier pyrite phase. The sulphide mineralisation is localised along discrete domains of boudinage psammitic bands. Associated with the sulphide mineralisation is a secondary coarse-grained biotite phase. The scale bar in the corner is 5cm.

Figure 6. A section of core from Rockface (KJCD481D3), featuring massive relict chalcopyrite enclaves mantled by secondary biotite. Encompassed within the sulphide section are large clast of psammopelite and magnetite. A late coarse grained muscovite phase defines a foliation through the sulphide section. Crystallization of the psammopelite clasts has also produced coarse grained secondary muscovite within the magnetite alteration zones. This may suggest the secondary muscovite recrystalised during the subsequent chalcopyrite event and prior to the late bornite replacement. The foliation is discordant to the S1-S2 composite layering and possibly reflects the S3 foliation. The relative timing relationship constraining the mineralisation to a syn D3 deformation. The scale bar on the left side corner is 5cm.
