Mar 17, 2010 (J Suma-Momoh) - Just before the close of the prospecting season of 1949, a quartz vein, 2 to 3 ft wide was located. The vein occupies a tension fracture in basalt (host) and was stripped for a length of 100 ft with both ends open. A 50 pound bulk sample blasted from the outcrop yielded 0.30 oz/t Au. REF: KL 1796, page 1. Visible gold and auriferous pyrite have been found in at least 7 exposed quartz veins measuring 30 - 300 feet in length and 0.5 - 6.0 ft wide. REF: KL 1796, page 3.
