  • Type of workings Unknown
    Length 121.92M
    Overall depth 112.78M
    Overall length 230.43M

Comments on the workings information

  • AN ADIT 150 FT BELOW THE OUTCROP HAS BEEN DRIVEN ON THE VEIN FOR 400 FT; AT 350 FT A 50 FT DRIFT WAS DRIVEN ON AN ORE SHOOT. THIS ADIT CONTAINS AN INCLINED WINZE SUNK 38 FT BELOW THIS LEVEL (THE ORE WAS NOT BOTTOMED). FROM THE WINZE STOPES HAVE BEEN RUN ON TWO LEVELS; THE 1ST IS 20 FT BELOW THE COLLAR; THE 2ND IS AT AN UNKNOWN LEVEL, PROBABLY AT THE WINZE BOTTOM. 60 FT NW AND 220 FT VERTICALLY BELOW THIS MAIN ADIT, ANOTHER ADIT HAS BEEN DRIVEN N60E FOR 268 FT.

Comments on development

  • ADITS, DRIFTS, STOPES, AND A WINZE.

Subject category Comment text
Deposit QTZ FISSURE VEIN IN GRANODIORITE; VEIN CONTAINS ORE SHOOTS TO 1 FT THICK; VEIN HAS DISSEMINATED PYRITE.
Deposit IN THE 2ND ADIT THE NW DIP WAS NOT TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT SO THE VEIN WAS NOT REACHED. BY TURNING AT A RIGHT ANGLE AND DRIVING AT LEAST 150 FT THE VEIN COULD BE REACHED. PATTY, 1921, SUGGESTS THE RICHEST ORE IS BETWEEN THE MAIN TUNNEL LEVEL AND THE SURFACE OUTCROPS. AT ABOUT -270 FT IN THE WINZE THERE IS 200-300 TONS OF BROKEN ORE, SAID TO AVG 20 OZS AG/TON. IF THE ORE IS OF THIS QUALITY AND THE VEIN DOES CONTINUTE DOWNWARD, THEN THERE COULD BE A FAIR AMOUNT OF POTENTIAL RESOURCES BOTH ABOVE AND BELOW THE MAIN TUNNEL.
