The crosHcut 1S i'1 a distance of fourteen feet, with the breast showing heavy mineralization in the form of sulphide. The surveys indicate that the crosscut cross-cut in the next sixteen feet will reach the dike. It is being driven to the east and Ihe main tunnel is being driven to the southwest. Its course is practically parnlM to the porphyry dike and its objective is the contact between the ju'art.ite and the limestone formation where cut bv the porphyry dike. As the crosscut is driven forward the black limestone is steadily growing wider. When the dike is reached a I depth of close to (SCO feet from the sur-I lace will be attained. The dike will be driven through and the territory on the other side of it thoroughly prospected. |
