Jan 15, 2020 (Therese Pettigrew) - A quartz vein known as the Miner's vein occurs in metabasalt. The vein strikes N80W, dips steeply north, and is up to 5 feet (1.5 m) wide at the surface. In places the vein contains a little sphalerite, chalcopyrite, galena and pyrite: gold is reported to be erratically distributed with assays up to 0.25 ounces per ton. One of 2 drill holes intersected a lightly mineralized shear zone (Davies, 1978).
