Mineralization Comments

Jun 30, 2020 (Therese Pettigrew) - A shaft and several pits were put down on quartz veins occurring in or near porphyry bodies. Veins mineralized with galena, sphalerite, and pyrite retuned assays ranging from 0.14 to 0.56 oz/t Au (Beard and Garratt, 1984). A small parallel dyke from 1-3 feet in width traverses the location south of the larger one (Bow, 1899).
