S REPORT OF THE MINISTER OF MINES, 1929. on across a 6.5-foot width of the Blue vein, at altitude 4,325 feet, about 60 feet above its junction with the upper silicified zone, assayed: Gold, 0.06 oz. to the ton; silver, 0.4 oz. to the ton; copper, 2.9 per cent. A sample representing about 14 feet of the White vein, at altitude 4,700 feet, showing interbanded quartz, wall-rock, chalcopyrite, jasper, and some specularite, assayed: Gold, 0.1 oz. to the ton; silver, 0.4 oz. to the ton; copper, 1.1 per cent. GEORGE GOLD COPPER MINING CO. Lt? Plan of Upper Vein Sysfem Scol€o9 50 «to 200 Feet Multihe perder enaad ys 1929 gee r Resident Buegerg) Engine Bec. B.C-Bureau of Mines. Prince Ruper This company has actiyely and very efficiently explored two groups of claims George Enterprise in the upper Bear Riyer valley. he Heather group is situated on the south a Mining Co., Ltd. side of the valley at altitude 4,500 feet and adjoining the George Copper on the east, and about 23 miles from Stewart. Extensive surface work on this group disclosed only isolated patches of chalcopyrite mineralization and no defined structure. On the Enterprise group extensive open-cutting and underground work developed showings of chalcopyrite associated with well-defined structure and indications of silver-lead values in a fault-vein associated with a mineralized silicified zone of undetermined width. The country- rock is the Bear River series of volcanic breccias, tuffs, and flows of andesitiec type. To the westward of the main ore-showings a granitic rock of monzonite type outcrops and may have a genetical relation to the ore-deposits. It would seem that some prospecting in the area between the present showings and this granitic rock would be constructive. The showings have been described at length in the 1928 Annual Report. Barly in the 1929 Season a compressor plant was hauled in, installed, and the property well equipped for aggressive exploration.
