Comments

Comment (Commodity): OUTCROPS OF CODD ORE BODIES WERE OF GOOD GRADE, AND SOME ORE ESTIMATED TO CONTAIN 1 % W03 REMAINS ON MINE DUMPS.

Comment (Workings): THE MINE CONSISTS OF DO OLD SHAFT AND ADIT MOST OF THE ORE WAS REMOVED THROUGH THE STANK WORKINGS

Comment (Deposit): CODD MINE CONSISTS OF AN OLD SHAFT AND ADIT. LITTLE ORE WAS MINED THROUGH THESE, MOST ORE HAVING BEEN REMOVED THROUGH THE LOWER STANK WORKINGS. THE CODD MINE IS ON THE STANK BED ON THE SOUTHERN END OF THE STANK MINE. SOUTH OF THE CODD THE STANK BED IS CUT AND OFFSET BY THE STANK FAULT. THE CODD IS PART OF THE SAME BELT AS THE HUMBOLDT, SPRINGER AND STANK MINES. ; INFO.SRC : 1 PUB LIT; 2 UNPUB REPT
