It has been suggested that this dyke is a continuation of the
albitite dyke on the St. Paul property on Thornhill mountain,
but attempts to trace them through have not met with success.

The dyke on the Dardanelle property is probabiy partly
in granitic rocks, said to be similar to those on Thornhill
mountain, and partly in "ereonstone" which may be of volcanic
origin, or a dense phase of albite-rich diorite. Along the dyke
on either side for 600 feet and possibly much farther, veins have
been found at intervals in natural exposures, pits, trenches,
shafts, and adits. The veins range in width from 13 to 7 feet.
They consist of quartz containing galena, sphealcrite, chalcopyrite,
and pyrite. Their gold content according to assay returns ranges
from a trace to 1 oumce a ton. The rocks in which the veins lie
exhibit shearing and the veins also have been somewhat sheared.

The dyke is said to carry low values in gold.

Lower Kitsumgallum Valley

The lower part of Kitsumgallum valley lies along the
contact between a large body of albite-rich granitic intrusives
to the east and a considerable area of older volcanics and other
rocks to the west. Numerous, large and small inclusions of these
older rocks lie in the granite-diorite assemblage as displayed
on the east side of the valley. Around Kitsumgallum lake numerous
small veins occur and many of these carry values in gold. Narrow
veins wore observed southeast of the end of Kitsumgallum lake and
quartz-gold stringers occur on the knolls northeast of Terrace
where small remnants of albite diorite are sharply cut by albite
granodiorite. In most of the localities the deposits are so well

within the intrusive bodies that only the roots are likely to be

left.
