| Deposit | SEVERAL PARALLEL QUARTZ VEINS ALONG FALUT ZONE NEAR CONTACT OF QUARTZ DIORITE AND METASEDIMENTARY ROCKS. D.P. COX THINKS THIS IS POSSIBLY A PORPHYRY COPPER PROSPECT. DERKEY INDICATES A BRECCIA PIPE JUST NORTH OF THE VEINS WHICH IS 1200 X 700 IN PLAN VIEW. THE BRECCIA PIPE CONTAINS PYRITE, HEMATITE, TOURMALINE, AND CHALCOPYRITE |
