Atypical orogenic Au deposit. There is no estimation of resources available for this deposit. The host rocks reached the middle amphibolite facies at 620 ± 40 °C between 1870 and 1800 Ma. The deposit comprises a mineralized quartz-tourmaline-arsenide-sulfide vein network hosted in intermediate to felsic meta-volcanic rocks at the contact between meta-volcanic and meta-sedimentary units of the Ylivieska Group.
