Deposit THIS SERIES OF WORKINGS EXPLORES A MINERALIZED QUARTZ-RICH SHEAR ZONE: IN HORNBLEND DIORITE HOST ROCK. PRESENT IN THE QUARTZ WAS A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF AZURITE AND MALACHITE WITH MINOR LIMONITE AND PYRITE. GOLD AND SILVER MAY BE PRESENT. ADIT #1 INTERSECTS THE MAIN SHAFT VIA A RAISE AND STOPING AREA. THE STOPE AND RAISE PRODUCED APPROX. 108 CUBIC YARDS OF MATERIAL. WITH AN AVERAGE OF 60% DILUTION BY HOST ROCK, ACTUAL RE MATERIAL REMOVED IS APPROX. 43 CUBIC YARDS. ADIT #2 WAS DRIVEN 40' TO EXPLORE FOR CONTINUATION OF SHEAR ZONE. A 1 FOOT QUARTZ VEIN WAS INTERSECTED AT 371/2. IT'S STRIKE OF N 45 E INDICATES IT IS A SEPARATE VEIN OR A POSSIBLE OFF SHOOT. ADIT #3 WAS DRIVEN TO THE NORTH AND ACROSS A SMALL STREAM CHANNEL OR WASH. IT INTERSECTED A SHEAR ZONE WITH SIMILAR ATTITUDES TO THE MAIN COMPLEX. THE SHEAR ZONE RANGES FROM 6"TO 2.5 THICK. A 21' WINZE WAS DRIVEN TO EXPLORE DOWN DIP EXTENSION OF VEIN. VEIN MATERIAL WAS MAINLY QUARTZ WITH LIMONITE. ORE FROM THIS MINE COMPLEX WAS HAULED
