Dec 07, 2005 (D Guidon) - 1915 maps of S.W. Dixon indicate that the veins strike at 070 degrees. A 1923 report by F.V.Marsden talks about a sheeted zone (shear zone?) running north-south with parallel veins over the entire width. Geological mapping by J.A. Grant does not indicate shearing in this area. Mapping indicates the vein in the north shaft is at 070-75. A shear zone intersects the vein near the shaft at 110-90. UTM 17 558242E 5331209N. The foliation direction at the south shaft is 320-80. A weak shear intersect near the shaft at300-50. UTM 17 558350E 5331140N. The South shaft is under water in a small pond and the vein is not exposed on surface.

Dec 07, 2005 (D Guidon) - Quartz veins carry gold over narrow widths. The veins are hosted by medium grey-green, mafic Mg- tholeiitic metavolcanics. Disseminated sub-euhedral pyrite to 2 mm. Porphyritic dikes are found nearby.

Geologist: D Guidon
Notes: Visited June 22/99 . Shaft at 558350E 5331140N. Shaft not visible but under water in a pond. A little dump material is exposed to the north. The shaft vein is not exposed. Collected 2 samples of dump material (99302, 99303). Outcrop to south of shaft area has 2 foliations 320-80 and 290-50. Northern shaft at 558242E 5331209N. Shaft in deep trench in outcrop with vent pipe exposed. Dump material to north on outcrop. Quartz stockwork exposed on east end of trench. Vein at 070-75. Shear zone intersecting shaft at 290-90. According to D. Robinson, another small shaft may be located south of the shaft at 558350E 5331140N (personal communications 1999). According to the information in the asssessment files, there is a shaft on the west side of Hwy 11 at 557930E 5331160N (plotted using the assessment files).
