IV. GEOLOGY

Only the mapping and surveying on the Janelle and AB-13

claims are being applied for assessment, however results

of mapping'elsewhere are shown on the respective drill

hole plans. Silver-gold, base metal mineralization occurs

in at least 15 veins on the total property. The most signi-

ficant ore shoots are in the Main Workings area (original

American Boy). Several quartz veins striking northerly

and northeasterly are hosted by sandstones, siltstones and

argillites of the Bowser Group. Other gangue minerals

include siderite, pyrite, calcite and chlorite. Ore

mineralization including galena, sphalerite, tetrahedrite,

and chalcopyrite occurs primarily at structural inter-

sections. The most significant mineralization to date is

in Veins No. 1, No. 4 and No. 6. Mapping control was

provided by transit and stadia, with tape and compass

additions for accessible underground workings. The results

of mapping in these areas is shown on Fig. 8, 9 and 10.

Janelle Claim (No. 6 Vein)

The No. 6 Vein system has been traced intermittently by

trenching for almost 1000 metres. The most significant

mineralization occurs at the southwest end of the exposures

on the Janelle claim. A series of silver-rich sulfide lenses

are present over a strike length of 200 metres. There are

at least two parallel veins which make up the No. 6 system.

The best mineralization appears to be related to a westerly

trending cross-fault. Two shafts were sunk on the vein

on opposite sides of this fault (see Fig. 10) in the early

1950's. 21 tons of ore from the eastern shaft averaged

75 oz. silver per ton.

Geochemical sampling discussed earlier indicates that this

vein system continues at least 200 metres further to the

southwest.
