General comments

Subject category Comment text
Deposit SEDIMENTARY ROCKS HAVE BEEN CUT BY SHEARS OCCUPIED IN PART BY REDDISH GOUGE, SEDIMENTARY ROCK FRAGMENTS, AND BY MINOR QUARTZ VEINS AND STRINGERS. MINERALIZATION IS MUCH LESS OBVIOUS IN THIS PART OF THE CAMP THAN AT THE PANSY LEE MINE TO THE EAST.
