General comments

Subject category Comment text
Deposit WORKINGS EXPLORE A VEIN IN A FAULT THAT CUTS ALTERED WHITE TUFFS WHICH ARE LOCALLY CUT BY ANDESITE DIKES. THE INCLINE FOLLOWS THE VEIN DOWN DIP AND IS ABOUT 45 FT DEEP. THE ZONE IS A WHITE PUNKY MASS OF ARGILLICALLY ALTERED BROKEN VOLCANIC ROCK CONTAINING MINOR QUARTZ FRAGMENTS AND LITTLE OR NO VISIBLE MINERALIZATION. SAMPLE 3851 WAS TAKEN FROM THE INCLINE DUMPS AND EXPOSED VEIN.
