Point Location Description: McAuley B vein transcribed from sketch map

Location Method: Data Compilation

Access Description: Presently, the access into the area is difficult. The road from Highway 144 which is about 20 km long, has been washed out 8 km from the highway and the bridge across the Mollie River is no longer safe for large vehicles. Therefore it is best to take all terrain vehicles to the general area of the prospect near the power line.
