Subject category Comment text
Deposit WORKINGS FOLLOW A NARROW, IRREGULAR CONTACT IN LIMESTONE AND METASEDIMENTS. GRANITE IS PRESENT AS FLOAT, BUT DOES NOT OUTCROP. THERE ARE ALSO DIKES OF ANDESITE NORTH AND SOUTH OF THE WORKINGS. A SHORT DISTANCE TO THE NW, A LINE OF PROSPECTS FOLLOWS A SW CONTACT OF LIMESTONE AND GRANITE.
