QUARTZ VEIN MATTER - WITH LESSER CALCITE (PARTLY LATER THAN QUARTZ) IN THE ZONE CO-NTAINS PYRITE, CHALCOPYRITE, AND LIMONITE, MALACHITE AND RARE -AZURITE. THE QUARTZ VEIN MATTER IS MILKY WITH LOCAL COCKADE ST-RUCTURE. A PROSPECT PIT ON RIDGE 200 M EAST OF MINE IS SIMILAR-, BUT CONTAINS MORE LIMONITE GOSSAN IN QUARTZ VEIN MATTER ALON-G A N-TRENDING 45 DEGREE EAST FAULT CRUSH ZONE UP TO 2 M WIDE.- TAN TO PINK CALCITE OCCURS AS GANGUE AND IS PARAGENETICALLY L-ATER THAN QUARTZ. |
