| Deposit | VEIN IS EXPOSED NE OF THE SHAFT BY A SERIES OF DOZER CUTS ALONG A ROAD. A 650-FT CROSSCUT WAS DRIVEN FROM THE WEST, PERPENDICULAR TO AND SEVERAL HUNDRED FEET BELOW THE SHAFT. THE DUMP IN FRONT OF THE CROSSCUT SHOWS VERY LITTLE VEIN MATERIAL, SUGGESTING THAT THE VEIN WAS NOT INTERSECTED AT DEPTH. |
