Dec 07, 2005 (K R Kettles) - GEOLOGICAL DESCRIPTION: Nineteen quartz veins were noted in surface mapping (Stevens 1942) in the east-central part of this claim. The veins are contained in altered intermediate pyroclastic rocks, within 120 m of a tongue of talcose ultramafic rock that intrudes from the southwest. The veins strike between east-west and S80 deg. E and dip steeply. Three of these veins were reported to carry visible gold (Stevens 1942). One of these veins, the 'No. 5 vein' (Honsberger 1936) is a shear zone 4.5 m wide that contains a 1.2 m wide quartz vein carrying some finely disseminated galena and a few specks of visible gold. This 'No. 5 vein' shearing was traced about 60 m. DEPOSIT DESCRIPTION: A group of 19 small quartz veins occurs within an area of 100 by 150 m. Three of the veins carry visible gold (Stevens, 1942). GEOCHEMICAL DATA: Probable potassium enrichment and sodium depletion.

Oct 30, 2020 (Therese Pettigrew) - During the 1983 exploration program, a quartz vein, 143 feet long and varying in width from a fraction of an inch to three feet, was exposed during the stripping programme. This vein is located about 1,000 feet east of the No. 1 shaft. It was channel sampled. Assay results were erratic and ranged between trace to a maximum of 0.18 oz. Au/T over one foot (Assessment report 20000006228).
Dec 07, 2005 (K R Kettles) - The intermediate pyroclastic rock contains much biotite.
