Comments on the geologic information

  • THE EXAMINER SAW NO APPARENT REASON FOR CLAIM AT NORTHWEST CORNER OF MUD LAKE. LATER, PERSONAL COMMUNICATION WITH CHARLES G.(GARY) CLIFTON, FORMERLY WITH FISHER-WATT, INDICATED THAT GOLD VALUES WERE FOUND ON THE PLAYA. DRILLING SHOWED NO SIGNIFICANT AU VALVES, BUT THERE WAS SOME PROBLEM WITH SAMPLE CONTAMINATION AND CLIFTON THINKS THE PROPERTY HAS POSSIBILITIES.
