Comments on the geologic information

  • ADIT EXPLORES SHEAR WHICH FAULTS QTZITE BRX ON W AGAINST MASSIVE GREY LIMESTONE ON EAST. FAULT IS = 8FT WIDE AT ENTRANCE & PINCHS OUT TO 1. ORIENTATION OF FAULT IS N18W, 50SW AS MEASURED ON SLICKED LIMESTONE FALL E OF SHEAR. QTZITE BRX OUTCROPS ON ENTIRE RIDGE W OF ADIT FOR 100FT OR MORE. FRAGS IN THE BRX RANGE FROM CLEAN TO RED & WHITE MARLY APPEARANCE DUE TO FEOX CEMENT. A SMALL AMOUNT OF CARBONATE OCCURS IN VUGS. GREY WEATH LIMESTONE WITH CALCITE STRINGERS IS EXPOSED E OF FAULT. THE FAULT ZONE CONTAINS 2FT-4FT WIDE BOULDERS OF LIMESTONE BRX, THE SILICIFIED FACE OF LIMESTONE E OF SHEAR IS NOT BRX.
