Comments on the geologic information

  • A SMALL SHEAR ZONE EXPOSED AT THE MOUTH OF S35W ADIT APPEARS UNRELATED TO ORIENTATION OF THE WORKINGS. FROM THE AMOUNT OF GOSSAN & SILIC LS. FOUND ON THE DUMP THE ADIT PROB. EXPLORED A REPLACED ZONE NOT OBSERVABLE FROM THE ENTRANCE. THE HOST RK. IS A GREY LS WITH CALCITE VEINS & FEOX ON FRACTURED SURFACES. NEAR THE WORKING AN OUTCROP OF LS. IS MED BEDDED WITH SOME ALGAL LOOKING STRUCTURES ALONG BEDDING PLANES. THREE MORE ADITS WERE OBSERVED TO SW (ON WEST SIDE OF RIDGE) ON WAY BACK DOWN RD. THEIR ORIENTATION SEEMS TO COINCIDE WITH THE SILIC RIB NOTED IN DRAINAGE TO THE NORTH
