Subject category Comment text
Deposit ORE OCCURS IN THE ZONES EACH ABOUT 280 METERS LONG SEPARATED ON STRIKE BY ABOUT 280 METERS OF WEAKLY MINERALIZED ROCK.THE ORE BODIES DIP ABOUT 70 DEGREES NE, RAKE 40-50 DEGREES E. THE MINERALIZATION HAS BEEN TESTED ALONG STRIKE BUT NOT DOWNWARD BUT THERE IS GOOD EVIDENCE THAT IT MAY CONTINUE TO CONSIDERABLE DEPTH.
