Geology Comments

Dec 07, 2005 (P Beach) - Two parallel quartz chalcopyrite veins striking N75E and dipping 70N, cut diabase. At the shaft, the N vein is 1.5 feet wide; S vein is 0.7 feet wide, and they are separated by 4.5 feet of sparsely mineralized diabase. The N vein was traced intermittently for 1000 feet along strike, is generally less than 1.0 foot wide, and is sparsely mineralized with chalcopyrite. (ODM 1969 MRC 12 P 67-68).
