Aug 25, 2014 (A Wilson) - The C East zone consists of two parallel quartz lenses each about 20 feet wide, separated by 10 feet of gneiss. The quartz contains little or no pyrite. Directly to the west of the zone is a north trending diabase dike 80 feet wide. The strike length of the C East Zone is unknown. However, mapping to the east has not yet uncovered any quartz.
