General —————
This surface bedrock geochemical sampling was done in a reconnaissance fashion using compass and pace, with the aid of air photo No. 24549 - 174.
Areas of the samples taken are marked in the field with blue flagging tape the sample number also the width of each sample marked on and the marked flagging tape hung on adjacent trees. Tying into new claim lines and posts. The precise locations of these samples are shown on Plan Nos. 2, 3 and 10 attached.
Elevated areas suggested on the air photo are not necessarily bedrock. Most of them being sand and gravel domes. Some lineaments and indicated faults are plotted on air photo No. A24549 - 174, attached.
