30 to over 100 feet wide, which cuts and in places follows the
bedding in argillites of Skeena or older age, is mineralized.
There are scattered veinlets up to 4 inches wide carrying pyrite,
arsenopyrite, chalcopyrite, pyrrhotite, sphalerite, and galene

in a gangue of quartz and carbonate, and sparse impregnations of
pyrite and possibly other sulphides, especially near the veinlets.
There are no well-defined zones and the total quantity of
mineralized material is small. A selected sample assayed: gold,
0.15 ounce, and silver 3.3. ounces a ton. The dyke continues
from the main showing to the mouth of Kispiox river, a distance

of 1,500 feet, but in the main shows only impregnations of pyrite.

Fortune hill is a prominent hill in the middle of the
great valley occupied to the west by the Kispiox and to the east
by the Skeena. It is made up mainly of bedded rocks that are
cut in places by granodiorite or diorite and probably are of
Skeena and older ages. Mineral deposits occur on the southeast
slope on the Fortune Hill group and are reported to occur 2 miles

Fortune Hill property are confined to one or more bands of rock
which parallel the bedding in a series of tuffs and argillites
and are altered dykes or volcanics. The mineralizea rock is
largely quartz with calcite and sulphides, containing mainly

disseminated, but in places massive, sulphides including pyrite,
