Comments

Comment (Workings): Workings / Exploration = In 1996, Westmin Resources was actively exploring in the area and planning to drill the following summer. (Note added in 1998: apparently they did not.)

Comment (Production): Production Notes = None

Comment (Reference): Primary Reference = This description

Comment (Reserve-Resource): Reserves = None

Comment (Deposit): Model Name = Target probably was volcanogenic massive sulfide deposit.

Comment (Geology): Geologic Description = In 1996, Westmin Resources was active in Brushy Creek and planned to drill the following summer (based on field work by D. J. Grybeck, 1996 and on common knowledge of residents in the area). Target likely to be volcanogenic massive sulfide deposit similar to others along the Duncan-Zarembo mineral belt simply on basis of the favorability of the area for such deposits.

Comment (Exploration): Status = Active
