| Deposit | PROSPECTING HAS OCCURRED ALONG MARGINS OF DIKES WHICH CUT GRANITE. SAMPLE 3866 IS FROM A SMALL ADIT (15 FT LONG) AND INCLINE WHICH CUTS A N 65 E, 55 NW SHEAR ZONE, ALTERED, IN GRANITE. LIMITED MINERALIZATION ALSO FOLLOWS FRACTURES OUT INTO THE COUNTRY ROCK. THE SAMPLE WAS COLLECTED FROM THE DUMPS AND CHIPPED FROM THE EXPOSED VEIN AND CONSISTED OF MINOR COPPER AND YELLOW GREEN OXIDES COATING BASE METAL SULFIDES. A SHORT DISTANCE TO THE NORTHEAST, A SMALL PROSPECT EXPLORES A NW-TRENDING STRUCTURE NEAR A PARALLEL ANDESITE DIKE. THE WORKINGS ARE ON THE OLD HENDERSON CLAIMS. SAMPLE 3867, TAKEN FROM THE EXPOSED VEIN WAS PRIMARILY MASSIVE HEMATITE AND MINOR BASE METAL SULFIDES. |
