THE VOLCANIC ROCKS DIP 30 DEGREES WESTWARD, ARE HIGHLY ALTERED, FRACTURED AND LOCAL- LY MINERALIZED WITH CINNABAR-CARBONATE-CHALCEDONY IN FRACTURES THAT DIP EASTWARD. AN ELONGATE LENS OF ALTERED DACITE FLOW ROCKS AND BRECCIAS IS PER- VASIVELY ALTERED TO QUARTZ, SIDERITE, PYRITE, SERICITE, KAOLINITE, HEMATITE, ZEOLITE, LIMONITE AND TOURMALINE. GEOCHEMICAL SAMPLING RESULTS WERE NOT ENCOURAGING. THE GROUND WAS FORMERLY CROWN GRANTED TO HARDIE CINNABAR MINES, WHO DROVE 4 SHORT ADITS AND DUG SEVERAL TRENCHES.
