Dec 07, 2005 (A Wilson) - The Norwalk vein lies close to the western margin of the Centennial stock where it is in contact with intermediate to felsic tuffaceous rocks. The mine lies along a vein that strikes N80E and eips to the south, at first rather flatly and then steeply at depth. A narrow NE trending lamprophyre dike has been mapped to the north of the shaft.

Dec 07, 2005 (A Wilson) - The ore consists of mineralized quartz, containing pyrite and arsenopyrite and mineralized schist composed of sericite, pyrite and aresenopyrite. A grab sample collected of the mafic schist returned $3.80 per ton gold. A grab sample from the open cut returned $2.30 per ton gold.
