The Holt prospect is situated on top of a small hill immediately west of an electric power line. It consists of two shallow pits (2 m x 2 m) worked on a system of 3-20 cm wide deformed quartz veins and lenses in mylonitic augen gneisses with crenulated shear foliation. The mineralisation consists erratically distributed aggregates and veinlets of chalcopyrite and subordinate pyrite which form fracture fillings together with calcite in the quartz veins and along their contacts. The mineralisation is controlled by the presence of competent quartz lenses which occur irregularly distributed over an area of 2 m by 10 m. Microscopic examinations reveal the presence of minute grains of native gold in chalcopyrite and quartz partly occurring along microfractures in cataclastic pyrite.
