Dec 07, 2005 (P Beach) - NE-trending zone of Archean quartz magnetite banded iron formation in volcanics. Up to 2 miles in length and 50 to 200 feet wide. 20 assayed samples averaged 37.2% Fe, 44.0% SiO2. A sample across 50 feet gave 34.1% Fe, 46.5% SiO2. A 2 ton sample with a 38.2% crude Fe content by grinding to 60 to 80 M, gave a concentrate of 63.6% Fe with a ratio of crude to concentrate of 2:1. (ODM 1968 MRC 11 P 38).
