Geology Comments

Dec 07, 2005 (D Guidon) - The 1997 Gold Coral report by S. Carmichael suggests that the Bochawna zone may consist of 2 or 3 narrow lenses of mineralization averaging 1 metre in width and grading between 2 and 3 grams per tonne. The Upper zone has a strike length of 175 m with an average intersection width of 1.2 m at 2.6 ppm Au. The other zones appear to have about the same width, higher grade but shorter strike length.
