Roger,
H.Y.L. Brown's 1908 Record of the Mines of SA says, inter alia, of Lady
Alice:
"In the neighbourhood the bedrock has a general strike of N and S. It
consists of gneissic granite, felspathic schist, quartzose, and micaceous
and hornblende schist, yellow felspathic rock with quartz in rounded
pieces - probably a decomposed elvan dyke, greenish hornblendic rocks and
granite veins indicating the presence of greenstone and granite dykes
below... Gneissic granite is the prevailing rock."
As for Grenada rock - no mention. Perhaps it's a corruption of granitic or
the like ? It all sounds a bit granitic hereabouts.
For Goddard's the same book notes "slaty granite and gneissic rock".
Cheers
Ian Hodkinson
