Lithology Comments

Aug 14, 2017 (A Wilson) - At some 200 feet south and 100 feet west of the north east corner of A-65 several pits and trenches were put down in the early days of the camp on what was presumably a northwesterly-striking calcite vein. The caved condition of the workings does not permit substantiation of the rumour that a little cobalt mineralization was present.
