General comments

Subject category Comment text
Deposit VEIN EXPLORED BY A 50-FT INCLINE FOLLOWING THE DIP SLOPE. FAULT-CONTROLLED VEIN IS ABOUT 4 FT THICK AT THE SURFACE AND IT HAS ALTERED, SILICIFIED RHYOLITE IN THE FOOTWALL AND ANDESITE IN THE HANGING WALL. QUARTZ FORMS STRINGERS IN THE VEIN. MINERALIZATION INCLUDES VISIBLE PYRITE, MINOR COPPER, AND SULFIDES. THE SHEAR IS STRONGLY BLEACHED AND MN-STAINED.
