This prospect is situated on the northern bank of the East Finniss River, approximately 500 yards north-east of Brown's workings and 800 yards south-west of White's workings. About 50 years ago the area was prospected for copper and abandoned after several costeans had been dug. A small radiometric anomaly was discovered in 1950 and the area was radiometrically contoured. A geological map on a scale of 20 feet to one inch was prepared by the writer during the 1951 field season, and accompanies this report (Plate 1). [Geology, structure, mineralization, workings, diamond drilling, and prospecting recommendations are discussed].
