Geology Comments

Dec 07, 2005 (C Salo) - The Wright-Hargreaves Mines drilling in reported to have intersected a lithologically complex assemblage of mafic to felsic volcanic rocks ( including trachyte and tuff), schist, sediments ( some of which Are noted to be conglomeratic and jasper clast bearing), and carbonate as well as variably schistose and variably carbonate, sericite, chlorite, talc, and quartz altered equivalents of these rocks. Often, red and hematitic mafic to felsic dikes and/or sills are noted in the drill logs and where fractures and/or pyritic and/or quartz vein bearing, these may be anomalously auriferous along significant ( ranging from 1 to 30 feet) core lengths.
