General comments

Subject category Comment text
Deposit PEGMATITE VEINS IN A STRONGLY WEATHERED GRANODIORITE. LOWER ADIT IS ABOUT 50 FT LONG AND FOLLOWS THE STRIKE OF A N 60 W, 70 SW FAULT. THE PEGMATITE VEIN BEARS N 25-35 E, AND HAS DARK STREAKS OF BLACK TOURMALINE, AS WELL AS MINOR SULFIDES. THE UPPER ADIT IS 75 FEET ABOVE AND ON SAME STRIKE AS THE LOWER VEIN SYSTEM, BUT AT THIS POINT, THE VEIN IS SURROUNDED BY PINK POTASSIC FELDSPARS SEVERAL FEET THICK...THE MACRO CRYSTALLINE STRUCTURES ARE MORE APPARENT IN THE UPPER WORKINGS. THE EXPLORATION TARGET APPEARS TO BE THE SULFIDES, (?).
