These photos are from the Halifax showing. Massive sphalerite-magnetite-galena mineralization occurs in old workings, sloughed cat trenches, and on the historic dumps. The excavator was used to strip the area adjoining the historic open cut, for detailed mapping and sampling. A long trench was also dug nearby, which exposes additional mineralization.
Limited historic drilling was done at the Halifax showing in 1977, however specific hole locations are unknown. Several narrow (to 0.9 meters) mineralized intercepts were encountered in the historic drilling, with grades to 2.35% Pb and 18% Zn.

This group of photos is from the Upper Eva Bell showing. Several pods of massive sphalerite-magetite +/- galena, chalcopyrite were discovered by bulldozer stripping here in the early 1970's. Select grab samples collected during 2006 returned values to 576 g/t Ag, 3.05% Cu, 7.03% Pb and 22.6% Zn, with 840 ppb Au and to 1270 g/t Ag, 10.8% Cu, 1.83% Pb and 5.34% Zn, with 490 ppb Au, however the mineralization was poorly exposed. During the 2007 work program, the excavator was used to strip off a large area to better expose the mineralization for mapping and representative sampling.

These pictures show prospector John Boutwell at the Contact adit. A 40 centimeter chip sample across the Contact vein, at the face of the adit assayed 59.03 g/t Au. This showing is untested by any drilling.
