| Deposit | VEINS ARE STRICTLY FRACTURE FILLINGS WITH NO SIGN OF REPLACEMENT. VEINS ARE UNIQUE IN THAT THERE IS NO NOTICEABLE WALL ROCK ALTERATION. VEIN WIDTHS RANGE FROM 1 TO 15 INCHES, BUT THE SMALLER VEINS ARE USUALLY GROUPED IN PARALLEL CLUSTERS SO THAT THE TOTAL OR ACCUMULATED VEIN WIDTH AT ANYONE POINT IS RARELY LESS THAN 6 INCHES. |
