Aug 01, 2007 (G Bennett) - Fault zone in Archean metabasalts strikes N40W, and dips 90. Quartz-chalcopyrite-pyrite veins occur in, and generally parallel to the attitude of, the fault zone. A minor amount of chalcopyrite occurs both disseminated in metabasalt and along tiny fractures in metabasalt and along tiny fractures in metabasalt near the veins.
Dec 07, 2005 (P Beach) - Fault zone in Archean metabasalts strike N40W, and dips 90. Quartz, chalcopyrite, pyrite veins occur in and generally parallel to the attitude of the fault zone. A minor amount of chalcopyrite occurs both disseminated in metabasalt and along tiny fractures in metabasalt near the veins. The mineralized zone has been traced for a length of 400 feet, and has been drilled over a length of 310 feet. Within the length drilled, average width is 21.5 feet, and average assay is 0.76% Cu (File SSM-655).
