| Deposit | SHAFT EXPLORES A 6-10 FT WIDE SHEAR OR FRACTURE ZONE IN INTRUSIVE ROCK. THE ZONE IS MORE FRACTURED THAN BRECCIATED. BRIGHT BLUE MALACHITE AND CHRYSOCOLLA COAT FRACTURE SURFACES WITHIN ZONE. FE AND MN OXIDES ARE ALSO PRESENT IN THE ZONE BUT ARE NOT AS ABUNDANT AS THE COPPER MINERALS. SAMPLE 785 CONSISTS OF DENSE DARK GREEN SKARN(?) OR MAFIC INTRUSIVE WITH CU OXIDES AND MAGNETITE. SHAFT IS LOCATED WITHIN THE NORTH CENTRAL PORTION OF A TERTIARY DIORITE STOCK WHICH INTRUDES "OLDER" TERTIARY VOLCANICS AT THE SOUTH END OF LITTLE (EMPTY) MOUNTAIN. |
