Deposit SEVERAL FISSURE VEINS WHICH APPEAR TO REPLACE EACH OTHER HAVE BEEN TRACED AT IRREGULAR INTERVALS FOR MORE THAN HALF A MILE. JUNE TUNNEL CUTS A N 26 E FAULT. E OF FAULT, BEDS CONTAIN MANY SOFT GOLD-BEARING SEAMS. W OF THE FAULT THE QUARTZITE IS FINELY BRECCIATED AND CONTAINS GOLD. THE GROUP CONTAINS AT LEAST 3 FRACTURE ZONES SEPARATED BY AREAS OF RELATIVELY UNDISTURBED QUARTZITE
