and as little further information regarding them has been obtained
only a bricf synopsis of them will be given hore.

Taltapin Group

This group consists of the Silver Fox and six adjoining
claims, The mineral deposits are narrow (2 inches to 35 foot
wide) irregular veins, and consist of galona, chalcopyritc,
sphalerite, pyrite, tetrahedrite; and a little white mica in a
quartz gangue. The mineral deposits occur in andesite grecnstones
of Carboniferous age; The greenstones are intruded by a medium-
grained, grey granodiorite. The most favourable showings are on
the Silver Fox claim where veins occur close to (150 feet); and
on both sides of; a tongue of granodiorite 200+fceot wide. East
and south of the Silver Fox claim less favourable showings occur in
roof pendants of greenstone, 200+fect in diamctor,; in the grano-
Giorite., The chicf values are in silver, lead, and zinc.

Radio Gold Mines Limited

The showings occur at the contact of metamorphosed
Carboniferous rocks and a body of granodiorite and diorite,
Several; large, irregular lenses of glassy quartz carrying very
minor amounts of pyrite, chalcopyrite, and molybdenite are
exposed in the metamorphosed Carbonifcrous rocks (gneisses, schists,
and banded foliated sedimonts). These quartz lenses attain a
maximum size of 20 to 30 fect thick and 100 to 200 fect long.
Elsewherc on the property there is much cpidote, magnotitc, and
bronze-coloured pyrite scattered throughout the comtry rock,
Assays indicate only small amounts of gold ond silvor.

Silver Island 2

The veins occur near the contact of a rhyolite stock
with a body of diorite. The mineral deposits, which are narrow
fissure veins (1 to 6 inches wide) in tho diorite, consist of
tetrahedrite (grey copper), argentite, native silvor, and small
amounts of galena, sphalerite, chalcopyrite, pyrite, malachite, anc
azurite in a gangue of calcite, baritc, ond quartz. Assays of
samples from these narrow veins show a silvor contont of 9 to 693
ounces a ton,
