Comments on the geologic information

  • ON ADRIENE NO. 1 CLAIM TWO QUARTZ-ANTIMONY VEINS OCCUR IN INTER BEDDED SHALE AND QUARTZITE WH MAIN VEIN, 8 TO 12 INCHES WIDE, STRIKES N5W AND DIPS 45-65 DEGREES W TERMINATI AGAINST A 6 TO 12 INCH VEIN STRIKING N65W AND DIPS 70 DEGREES S. QUARTZ-SB STRIERS OCCUR AT THE INTERSECTION OF THE TWO VEINS. ON ADRIENE NO. 2 CLAIM 4 TO 24 INCH QUARTZ-SB VEINS STRIKING N20W AND DIPPING 70-75 DEGREES W OCCUR IN QUARTZITEITH SOME INTERBEDDED SANDSTONE. THE VEIN MAY BE A CONTINUATION OF THAT ON THE ADRIENE NO. 1 CLAIM. ANTIMONY OCCURS AS PODS AND INDIVIDUAL CRYSTALS OF STIBNITE IN THE QUARTZ STRINGERS. MUCH OF THE STIBNITE HAS BEEN OXIDIZED.

Deposit THE PROPERTY INCLUDES CLAIMS NOS. 1,2, AND 3. ON ADRIENE NO. 1 CLAIM TWO QUARTZ-ANTIMONY VEINS OCCUR IN INTERBEDDED SHALE AND QUARTZITE WITH MAIN VEIN, 8 TO 12 INCHES WIDE, STRIKES N5W AND DIPS 45-65 DEGREES W TERMINING AGAINST A 6 TO 12 INCH VEIN STRIKING N65W AND DIPS 70 DEGREES S. QUARTZ-SB SINGERS OCCUR AT THE INTERSECTION OF THE TWO VEINS. ON ADRIENE NO. 2 CLAIM 4 TO 24 INCH QUARTZ-SB VEINS STRIKING N20W AND DIPPING 70-75 DEGREES W OCCUR IN QUARTZE WITH SOME INTERBEDDED SANDSTONE. THE VEIN MAY BE A CONTINUATION OF THAT ON THE ADRIENE NO.1 CLAIM. ANTIMONY OCCURS AS PODS AND INDIVIDUAL CRYSTALS OF STIBNITE IN THE QUARTZ STRINGERS. MUCH OF THE STIBNITE HAS BEEN OXIDIZED. PODS OF SB OXIDE AND STIBNITE IN 2-5 CM QUARTZ VEINLETS; PHYLLITES ARE LARGELY BARREN, PROBABLY A FACTOR OF THE GREATER COMPETENCY OF SANDSTONE VERSUS PHYLLITES.; MODEL NAME COULD ALSO BE: SIMPLE SB.
