Comments
Comment (Location): POINT LOCATION GIVEN IS A REPRESENTATIVE POINT.
Comment (Development): ECON.COM: NO ACCESS ROAD
Comment (Deposit): THE ORE DEPOSITS ARE LOW-GRATE GOSSAN OUTCROPS. THE MINERALIZATION IS SCATTERED OVER A RELATIVELY LARGE AREA, BUT THE ORE GRADE IS POOR AND THE POTENITAL RESERVES SMALL.
Comment (Workings): BULLOCK (1970, P. 88) DOES NOT REFER TO ANY WORKINGS, ONLY TO THE GOSSAN OUTCROPS.
