Comments on the workings information

  • ABNORMAL RADIOACTIVITY ALONG A N80 DEG W, VERTICAL FAULT IN IRON-STAINED META-ANDESITE A 2 INCH-WIDE GOUGE ZONE IS MOST RADIOACTIVE. THE AREA LIES NEAR A GRANITE CONTACT, ONE SKARN SPECIMEN WAS QUITE RADIOACTIVE (GARSIDE, P 17) NOTE: GARSIDE PLACES IN SEC 28, GEOL DOES NOT FIT-SEC 27 MORE LIKELY.
