Lithology Comments

Oct 09, 2014 (A Wilson) - The quartz bodies were reportedly in the form of lenses or plum-shaped bodies with widths up to 100 feet and striking N30E. The intermediate metavolcanics also have been sheared and both the quartz and the host rock are heavily mineralized with massive fine-grained pyrite. The overall strike of the siliceous exhalite appears to be roughly north-south, although in outcrop the bedding relationships appear to be somewhat contorted. In width, this unit appears to be about 10 m.

3	Chert	Economic	Gangue

Mineralization Comments

Oct 09, 2014 (A Wilson) - The siliceous exhalite contains greater than 50% pyrite in places. Iron values reach 37.45% in case of sample B-105, with sample B-llla containing 297 ppm zinc. Hematite and magnetite were not observed in this siliceous exhalite, nor were any of the samples magnetic. Gold values in this siliceous exhalite were quite low, as was lead.
