Aug 27, 2014 (A Wilson) - The zone consists of an area of quartz veins within sheared, gneissic tonalite. The quartz is buff white with only minor amounts of quartz. The most significant quartz vein varies in width from less than a foot on the east side to 16 feet on the west. A minor fault striking N35W near the west end of the zone offsets the vein 12 feet.
