Comments
Comment (Geology): A BIOTITE/HORNBLENDE RICH INTRUSIVE ROCK HAS LOCALLY MARBELIZED AND REPLACED THE LIMESTONE COUNTRY ROCK. THE INTRUSIVE ROCK IS MOSTLY FINE-GRAINED SEEMS APLITIC IN PLACES. SOME OF THE EXPOSURES SHOW OXIDATION MAFICS, BUT MOST OF ROCK IS UNALTERED. THE INTRUSIVE APPEARS TO PINCH OUT AND IS LENTICULAR IN SHAPE (SILL-LIKE). SKARN CAN BE SEEN IN PLACES BELOW IGNEOUS BODY ON N&E SIDES OF WORKINGS, MOSTLY COARSE XTALLINE GREEN GARNET. THE ADIT ON THE NORTH EXPOSES A GREY XTALLINE SILICIFIED LIMESTONE WITH IRREGULAR U/AR REPLACEMENT PODS & FRACTURE FILLINGS OF CU MINS & OXIDTS AT ITS ENTRANCE.
Comment (Development): 1 PARTIALLY CAVED, SHORT N60W ADIT ADJACENT TO SMALL BLASTED AREA.
