Four trenches totaling 2600 feet and 26 test pits were completed on the north end of this zone where the overburden was lightest and a minimum of water was encountered. High iron assays were secured but the silica content was also high, but as work preceded south the silica content decreases. However, in this work, quartzites were encountered and test pits were then put down to determine the strike, widths and dips, but as yet this work has not been carried through to a definite conclusion."
The following table gives a summary of the trench results.
