Lithology Comments

Sep 18, 2015 (A Wilson) - As mentioned under structure a possible favourable zone is indicated beneath a north of east trending swamp crossing the north part of these claims. It has a possible length of over 2000 feet and calculated from a single dip on the west end of 45º south, a true thickness of less resistant marble beneath the swamp of 250 feet is indicated. There are 2 other indications of white, coarse grained, calcitic marble on the north group but both appear to be of minor importance.
