| Deposit | OXIDE IRON AND COPPER MINERALS OCCUR IN SHEAR ZONE. LIMONITE BOXWORKS, MALACHITE, AND POSSIBLY OTHER OXIDE COPPER MINERALS ARE PRESENT IN MATERIAL FROM A SMALL PIT. SPARSE QUARTZ VEIN MATTER IS ALSO PRESENT. THIS PROSPECT MAY REPRESENT A DIFFERENT TYPE OF MINERALIZATION FROM THAT OBSERVED IN MOST OF THE WORKINGS. IN FACT, THE SHAFT JUST UPHILL FROM THIS PROSPECT IS ALONG IRON-STAINED FRACTURES MUCH LIKE THOSE DESCRIBED FURTHER NORTH (SAMPLE 490). |
