Deposit OXIDE COPPER MINERALS AND TETRAHEDRITE OCCUR ALONG AN30W, 80SW VEIN IN LIGHT GREY CHERT. ZONE OF VEIN MATTER AND O-XIDE COPPER MINERALS IS AT LEAST 1 M WIDE AT THE MAIN (NORTHER-N) SHAFT WHERE THE SAMPLE WAS COLLECTED. QUARTZ VEIN MATTER IS- SPOTTY, GENERALLY FINE-GRAINED, RARELY DRUSY. MASSIVE SULFOSA-LTS OCCUR BETWEEN WALLS OF QUARTZ VEIN MATTER, AS OBSERVED IN -DUMP SAMPLES. LIMESTONE IS EXPOSED ABOUT 50 M NORTH OF THE DEE-PER SHAFT, AND ALTERED FELSIC PORPHYRY IS SEEN AS FLOAT BETWEE-N THE TWO SHAFTS.
