Results are summarized in the report. As and Sb are anomalous over a relatively small range. The east half of the west zone has much lower, but geochemically anomalous silver values, relatively low manganese and low copper. As and Sb are anomalous and average slightly higher than in the ore zone, with a greater range of high values. Scattered anomalies of silver and copper are present.
Manganese values are relatively high.
The presence of manganese oxides, veins of quartz and barite, and the widespread, strong anomalies of As and Sb are favorable aspects of the east zone. We interpret the east zone to be part of the same epithermal system that deposited the west ore body, but consider the east zone to be higher in the system, and above the silver zone. It is a good possibility that silver ore bodies similar in size and grade to the west ore body are present at shallow depths, less than 100 meters in the east zone. An 8 inch diameter collar pipe a minimum of 1 m long was set on each hole. Holes collared in poorly consolidated alluvium were drilled to bedrodk using a 10 inch diameter rotary tricone bit.
