General comments

Subject category Comment text
Deposit MINE DEVELOPED ALONG N 10-50 E VERTICAL FRACTURE ZONE IN LIMESTONE. QUARTZ-CALCITE VEIN IS DEVELOPED ALONG ZONE, WITH CLOTS OF RED-BROWN AND YELLOW-BROWN GOSSAN IN VEIN. GOSSAN AREAS WITH JASPEROID, ARE 2-6 FT WIDE ALONG THE STRUCTURE. WHITE QUARTZ-GOSSAN CONTAINS CLOTS OF GALENA RIMMED WITH ANGLESITE. ORE ZONES APPEAR TO HAVE BEEN SHOOTS AND CHIMNEYS WHICH FORMED WITHIN THE MAJOR N 10-50 E STRUCTURE; ALL ARE NEAR-VERTICAL. LIMESTONE HOST IS MODERATELY BLEACHED NEAR THE MINERALIZED STRUCTRES.
