    Dip NW
    Depth to top 0M

Controls for ore emplacement

  • Edna Stock; Deposit Is In North-Trending Zone Of Stocks

Comments on the geologic information

  • VEIN EXPLORED BY STOLEN SWEETS INCLINE CUT OFF BY STRONG NORTHEAST-STRIKING FAULT WHICH DIPS 52 DEG SE. DISPLACED PORTION OF VEIN BEYOND FAULT HAS NOT BEEN FOUND.

Economic information about the deposit and operations

Development status Past Producer
Commodity type Metallic
Deposit size Small
Significant No

Mining district

District name Winston District

Comments on the production information

  • MAP BY EARLL (1964) SHOWS THAT AN AREA OF ABOUT 5000 SQUARE FT. HAS BEEN MINED. ASSUMING AN AVERAGE OF 20 FT. FOR STOPE HEIGHT GIVES ABOUT 8000 ST OF ORE AND WASTE MINED.

Comments on the reserve resource information

  • SOME ORE MAY BE FOUND BELOW CROSS FAULT AND SOUTH OF STOLEN SWEETS INCLINE BUT POTENTIAL IS POOR

Workings at the site

  • Type of workings Underground
    Length 150M
    Overall depth 15M

Comments on the workings information

  • MINE DEVELOPED ON TWO VEINS, ONE STRIKING ABOUT N 80 E DIPPING GENTLY NW (ALSO EXPLORED TO THE NORTH BY IRON AGE INCLINE) AND ONE STRIKING ABOUT N 20 E AND DIPPING 19 NW. EXTENSIVELY STOPED GROUND NEAR INTERSECTION OF VEINS. DEVELOPMENT VIA A 16 DEG. INCLINE ALONG FIRST VEIN.
