Dec 07, 2005 (P Beach) - At N end of roadcut on E side of highway, a quartz-carbonate vein breccia is exposed. The breccia has an exposed a thickness of 10 feet, a length of 50 feet, strikes N10-20E, dips 50E, and is overlain by diabase 6 feet thick. Above the dike is more breccia, up to 6 inches thick, which grades by lessening of fracturing into granite. Minor chalcopyrite and laumontite occur in the breccia. On the W side of highway breccia has an exposed width of 40 feet, the S edge being drift-covered, the N edge grades into granite. About 120 feet N of N edge of breccia, on W side of highway, a few quartz-carbonate veins carrying galena and chalcopyrite cut sheared, altered, granitic rock. The veins strike N70E, dip 90 and are 1/2-1 inch thick. Drill hole on W side of Highway cut a brecciated altered zone in granite. Assay of core sample gave 0.37% Cu and 0.18 oz/ton Ag over 3.0 feet.
