Dec 07, 2005 (K R Kettles) - GEOLOGICAL DESCRIPTION: Quite similar in some respects to the north vein east (TD 2), the main mode of occurrence of gold at this locality is in quartz veins within a shear zone striking about S65 deg. E that cuts intermediate lava and breccia. The volcanic rocks contain chert - carbonate chemical sediments north and south of the deposit, and some lavas in the vicinity of the No. 2 shaft contain silicified zones 1 to 2 m wide that are heavily impregnated with sulphides, probably including arsenopyrite (Flaherty, 1944). Underground drilling by Gold Frontier Mines Limited encountered carbonatized volcanic rocks. This north vein west was believed to be structurally continuous over 1000 m with TD 2. DEPOSIT DESCRIPTION: This quartz vein - bearing shear zone was traced over 100 m on surface. Two ore shoots were outlined in the underground workings, and a third high-grade ore zone was encountered at the end of mining operations(Denny, 1944).

Dec 07, 2005 (K R Kettles) - MDI1 DATA: TOTAL RESERVES-NORTH VEIN-NO.2SHAFT AREA: 24,628 TONS @ 0.37 OPT AU, PROSPECT INCLUDES: NO.2 SHAFT, NORTH ZONE, EAST BOUNDARY ZONE It was estimated that 4,300 tons of ore grading 0.43 oz/ton (14.743 g/tonne) Au had been outlined in two narrow ore shoots (Denny, 1944). This estimate was apparently based on ore between surface and the 30.5 m level. The deposit appears to be open below that depth.
Dec 07, 2005 (K R Kettles) - The rocks are silicified, carbonatized and impregnated with sulphides.
