The deposits consist of a series of quartz veins, which
belong partly to the filled fissure type and partly to the
replacement type. In width they range from a few inches to 3
feet, but in places where veins cross or where thoy swell to

unusual width they range up to 25 feet. Gold assays from 1 to

8 ounces a ton were secured from samples taken across the full
widths of the veins. In places the veins appear to show good
continuity on the surface and afford very encouraging showings.
Development work, however, proved that the favourable surface
showings upon which work was carried out were not continuous 4
laterally or at depth and it was believed that further work was
not justified. However, it is understood that the properties

have been held in good standing.
