fn adit driven from the lower end of the stripped
(680 foot) section of the deposit showed widths of 3 to 4 fect
in 100 feet of drifting on the deposit. Farther down the
mountain slope the surface work suggests that the fracture zone
is less well defined, and that it is less mineralized, An adit
‘ driven 650 feet along the strike at 4,270 feet lies 150 feet
below the upper adit and the lower end of the stripped zone and
overlaps this zone by 40 feet. Cross cuts have tested a zone
50 feet wide extending on either side of the vertical projection
downward of the deposit. "Mineralization in this tunnel is poor.
A number of minor stringers carry ore minerals, and in places
crosscuts show a general zone of mineralization which is probably
too low grade to be classed as ore." (Jones).

The mineralized zone consists of a vein or veinlets or
cement in breccia and of replacement of the volcanics. The chief
minerals present are sphalerite and arsenopyrite. Pyrite is
abundant, chalcopyrite common, and pyrrhotite was noted in the
main adit. Stringers of one mineral cut masses of another and
it is clear that minerals were not all deposited at the same i
time. In some places the vein is dominantly one sulphide, in
others mainly another sulphide. Gold is obtained in the central
section of the deposit and is the most important. Channel samples
over narrow widths assay in some cases over one ounce to the ton
and over average width range mainly from 0.2 to 0.5 ounce a ton.
Silver ranges mainly from 1 to 8 ounces a ton. The zinc content
is high in places, but its average is probably only moderate.
Assay returns suggest that the gold may be mainly with the
arsonopyrite and the silver with the zinc.
