Dec 07, 2005 (D Guidon) - Map 53A records a pit and a vein in mining claim L.2972. The rock is mapped as 'basic syenite : intrusive as dike-like masses into sediments'. The rock is medium green to reddish, medium grain with subangular to subrounded grains. The sample is from the edge of the vein and may be brecciated and altered along a fault. The rock has been slightly altered with chorite-sericite. A quartz vein, approximately 0.15 m wide cuts the rock. The vein contains chloritized wall rock.
