| Deposit | SEE BRUCE MINE (MRDS NO. M800223). |
| Deposit | DEPOSIT IS MASSIVE SULFIDE LENS IN PROTEROZOIC METAVOLCANIC ROCKS. DEPOSIT LOCALIZED AT OR NEAR CONTACT OF RHYOLITE AND ANDESITE. BRUCE ORE BODY IS DOWN-DIP EXTENSION OF OLD DICK OREBODY. |
| Deposit | BRUCE OREBODY AND OLD DICK OREBODY ARE ALONG SAME STRATIGRAPHIC INTERVAL, WITH BRUCE UNDERLYING OLD DICK. TWO MINES ARE LISTED SEPARATELY DUE TO HISTORY, MINING, AND DEVELOPMENT. GEOLOGICALLY, THE TWO MINES EXPLOITED THE SAME OREBODY. THIS RECORD CONTAINS DATA FROM DUPLICATE RECORDS W000354 OF A.B. COURY AND W002662 OF D.P.
