NBMG Sample Site Nos. 3668 & 3669
Structure: Monzonite Cut By Rhyolite Dikes
Deposit: Nbmg sample # 3668 was taken from the southern most adit which included gangue minerals of limonite, calcite and possible lead-silver oxides. Nbmg sample # 3669 was taken from quartz stringers and other vein material associated with workings to the north. Most of the workings are not accessible by road. ; info.src : 1 pub lit the deposit, at depth, was reported to follow a rhyolite-granite contact and bedding planes. The granite, not seen on the surface, was also reported to have been cut by rhyolite dikes.
