Deposit THERE HAS BEEN NO PRODUCTION FROM THE PROPERTY. FURTHERMORE, THE AREA TO DATE, 1951, HAS REMAINED DEVOID OF PRODUCTIVE MINING OPERATIONS. SPARSE METALLIC SULFIDES AND OXIDES ARE EXPOSED BY SHALLOW CUTS AND PITS OVER AN AREA ABOUT 200 METERS WIDE AND TWO METERS LONG. THIS METALIZATION IS CONFINED TO FRACTURES TRENDING ALONG STRIKE BUT DIPPING ACROSS THE BEDDING AT ANGLES RANGING FROM 20 DEGREES TO 56 DEGREES WEST. THE FRAC- TURES ARE QUARTZ FILLED FOR THE MOST PART, ALTHOUGH SOME CONTAIN CALCITE. THE METALLIC MINERALS CONSIST PRINCIPALLY OF OCCASIONAL THIN SEAMS OF PYRITE, CHALCOPYRITE AND OXIDES OF IRON AND COPPER WITHIN THE QUARTZ GANGUE. A DUMP SAMPLE SELECTED TO CONTAIN THE RICHEST ORE ASSAYED 0.40 PERCENT COPPER, LESS THAN 0.01 PERCENT COBALT AND LESS THAN 0.02 PERCENT TUNGSTEN
