Comments on the geologic information

  • GEOL.DESC: GREATER PART OF THE MINERALIZED ZONE WITHIN A SEMIRECTANGULAR AREA ABOUT 500 FT. LONG AND 150 FT. WIDE TRENDING N 45DEG. W. ACROSS RIDGE CREST; SULFIDE BEARING MATERIAL RECOGNIZED FOR MORE THAN 1300 FT. NW AND 150 FT. SE. GOLD PRESENT IN MOST OF MANY SAMPLES TAKEN; RICHEST SAMPLES ANALYZED ABOUT $10 PER TON. FROM SURFACE EXPOSURES DEPOSIT TOO LOW IN GRADE, GOLD IS TOO ERRATICALLY DISTRIBUTED AND AREA TOO DIFFICULT OF ACCESS TO BE COMMERCIALLY EXPLOITABLE AT PRESENT BUT IS NEAR ENOUGH COMMERCIAL SIZE AND GRADE TO WARRANT EXPLORATION TO DETERMINE CHARACTER AND DIMENSIONS BENEATH THE SURFACE.
