Geology Comments

Dec 07, 2005 (K R Kettles) - GEOOGICAL DESCRIPTION: In the eastern part of this claim a lens of felsic lava occurs within the talc-rich ultrmafic rock, about 30 m south of the contact of this ultramafic body and intermediate pyroclastic rocks to the north. Contacts strike about S80 deg. E, and two east-west striking quartz veins contains visible gold by trenching. One of these veins contains visible gold (Stevens, 1942) and the vein mineralogy is reported to be similar to Mount Jamie No. 1 vein (TD 3) (Honsberger, 1936). DEPOSIT DESCRIPTION: Several narrow quartz veinlets occur over a width of 1 to 2 m to form the gold-bearing 'vein' and have been traced about 60 m (Honsberger, 1936).
