Comments on the geologic information

  • Geologic Description = In 1996, Westmin Resources was active in Brushy Creek and planned to drill the following summer (based on field work by D. J. Grybeck, 1996 and on common knowledge of residents in the area). Target likely to be volcanogenic massive sulfide deposit similar to others along the Duncan-Zarembo mineral belt simply on basis of the favorability of the area for such deposits.
