01/14/2002 (G W Seim) - In the SW corner of claim P-622800, on the northwestern edge of the property, as well as just west of the property boundary, outcrops are exposed showing pyrite, arsenopyrite and sphalerite mineralization. The sulphides occur within a quartz vein that follows a very narrow shear zone. This narrow shear zone has been exposed for 30 ft., in the past by power striping. The vein pinches and swells between 8 inches and 2 feet. and trends 003 degrees, dipping 80 degrees towards the east. Vein selvages are highly sheared, silicified and sericitized and contain tr. to 1% pyrite and much limonite. The vein itself is white to grey white, containing 5-25 percent pyrite, tr - 3 percent arsenopyrite and tr. to 4 percent sphalerite. the sulphides occur in a semi-banded orientation, parallel to the vein. Wallrock to the vein/shear is unit 2c, Tuff breccia. This rock has a mafic (predominatnly hornblende and chlorite) matrix hosting white felsic fragments.
