Dec 07, 2005 (P Beach) - Quartz chalcopyrite veins striking N75W and dipping 60S to 90. Two parallel veins traced intermittently over a length of 12,600 feet. Both veins are up to 20 feet wide, and are 500-600 feet apart. The main prospect is at the east end of the known occurrences, on a north vein system, on claims SSM 22634 and 22642, where 2 shoots have a combined length of 960 feet, average 2.65% Cu across 5.6 feet. The 730 foot interval between shoots has been explored by 2 d.d. holes with low Cu values. (ODM 1969 MRC 12 P 43-44).
