Annotation
Geochemical testing was done for copper, lead and zinc in a gridded soil testing program. Approximately 360 samples were collected at 30-40 m spacings on grid lines. The anomolous areas are plotted on a map and do not appear to be related to the gossanous zone. Sampling to the north of the current grid appeared to be warranted.
