Comments on the workings information

  • A FEW SHALLOW STOPES AND SEVERAL DEEP BULLDOZER CUTS

Comments on development

  • NO ACTIVITY IN 1984, HOWEVER SOME RECENT DRILLING HAS BEEN DONE NEARBY, PROBABLY BY EXXON FOR PRECIOUS METALS. SHALLOW STOPES WOULD INDICATE PROBABLE SMALL GOLD PRODUCTION

General comments

Subject category Comment text
Deposit ACCORDING TO ORAL COMMUNICATIONS FROM MIKE BRADY AND PETER VIKRE, ANOMALOUS NI AND CR VALUES ARE FOUND IN THIS AREA. THESE VALUES ARE REPORTED TO BE ASSOCIATED WITH A MICA WITH THE X-RAY PATTERN OF SERICITE. THE GREEN ENCRUSTATIONS FOUND ON CHALCEDONIC VEINLETS AND SILICA-RICH PARTS OF WAD AND LIMONITE GOSSAN WERE SAMPLED. THE MINERALIZED ZONE OCCURS ALONG A N 15 W, 35 SW ZONE OF STOPING ALONG AN OXIDIZED VEIN (NOW GOSSAN). THE ZONE IS DUE NORTH OF AND ON STRIKE WITH STRUCTURES MINERALIZED AT THE ADELAIDE CROWN MINES.
