General comments

Subject category Comment text
Deposit MINERALIZATION OCCURS IN THE CHLORITE SCHIST AS STRINGERS OF CHALCOPYRITE, PYRITE, AND QUARTZ WHICH EITHER PARALLEL OR CUT ACROSS THE FOLIATION. A FEW SMALL GASH VEINS, PERPENDICULAR TO FOLIATION, ARE FILLED WITH CHALCOPYRITE IN THE MIDDLE ADIT. THE DUMP MATERIAL FROM THE MIDDLE AND LOWER ADITS CONTAINS MINERALIZED MATERIAL VERY SIMILAR IN APPEARANCE TO MATERIAL FROM THE PECOS MINE. THIS MATERIAL IS COMPOSED OF ABOUT 30% SULFIDES: SPHALERITE, CHALCOPYRITE, PYRITE, PYRRHOTITE AND GALENA IN A CHLORITE-QUARTZ-TREMOLITE-ACTINOLITE MATRIX.
