Satelite View

Comments

Comment (Workings): FOUR BULL DOZER CUTS, ONE PROSPECT PIT

Comment (Deposit): COPPER, IRON AND MN OXIDE MINERALS OCCUR IN MILKY QUARTZ VEIN MATERIAL ALONG A N20E, 70 SE FAULT? A SMALL OUTCROP OF SOMEWHAT ALTERED GRANODIORITE PORPHYRY OCCURS IN ONE TRENCH, BUT THE MAIN WALLROCK IS GREY PHYLLITE WITHIN QUARTZITE. A 50 CM WIDE HIGHLY HEMATITIC ZONE IN THE PHYLLITE OCCURS ALONG STRIKE AWAY FROM THE PIT WITH THE VEIN QUARTZ. REMNANTS OF CHALCOPYRITE AND PYRITE PRESENT IN THE QUARTZ; MALACHITE, WAD, LIMONITE, DARK OXIDE CU MINERALS (?), AND A YELLOW-GREEN, UNIDENTIFIED OXIDE (ARSENATE?) MINERAL OCCUR IN THE VEIN QUARTZ MATERIAL. THE TOTAL WIDTH OF THE VEIN COULD NOT BE DETERMINED, BUT IT DOES NOT EXTEND MORE THAN A FEW METERS HORIZONTALLY, AND IS PROBABLY SPOTTY IN THE MAIN AREA OF EXPOSURE.

Comment (Location): ABOUT 1.8 AIR MILES N 10 W FROM THE GOLCONDA MINE ; INFO FROM LAND.ST :(1972)

Comment (Development): NO ACTIVITY IN 1984
