DESCRIPTION OF ORE OCCURRENCES

Signal and Anvil Mineral Claims

On the Signal and Anvil claims (See Figure 21), the outcrops of magne-
tite are confined to an area about 300 feet broad and 1,000 feet long extend-
ing eastward from the head and along the east side of the bed of a small
dry lake or pond. Bedrock outcrops in considerable volume over several
limited patches along the south edge of this area, but elsewhere outcrops
are lacking for a considerable distance in all directions. Within the
area, the exposures for the most part are small and widely scattered, so
that neither the full extent of the mineralization nor the direction of its
trend is apparent, but judging from the relations holding on neighbouring
claims, it is probable that a number of individual zones of mineralization
are present, each striking about east and west and dipping at high angles.

Figure 21. Magnetite occurrences, Signal and Anvil claims, Kamloops district, B.C. Magnetite
outcrops are indicated by crosses or by crosses joined by a line. Contour interval, 20
feet.

The southwesternmost mineralized exposure (for position, See Figure
21) shows a few square feet of gabbro or monzonite holding thin, short,
discontinuous seams of magnetite. The next mineralized occurrence lies
150 feet northward and consists of a small patch of loose fragments of
nearly pure magnetite, possibly indicating the existence beneath them of
a body of magnetite. No bedrock outcrops in the immediate vicinity.
Three hundred and thirty feet to the northeast and close to the edge of the
dry bed of the lake, on the west side of a knoll of country rock, is an irregular
mass several feet in diameter in which pure magnetite forms small bodies
so distributed as to appear to hold lens-shaped fragments of country
-ock inches long.
Le ee feet northeast of the last-mentioned locality, a stripping
25 feet long by 5 feet wide shows magnetite in three distinct bodies. The
magnetite is nearly pure, is compact, and occurs in the form of a fine-grained
base holding larger grains, some of which show crystal outlines. One of
the magnetite masses is 7 feet long with a maximum width of 3 feet; a
