SUMMARY O F RESULTS

Using Background v a l u e s of 2 5 ppm f o r Cu-Zn and 0 . 1 ppm f o r Ag, t h e Geochemical r e s u l t s c a n be summarized as fo l lows :

Ave . Cu (ppm) Ave . Zn ( ppm) A v e .Ag (ppm) Total A r f a Sampled 58.3 56.8 0.29 Easterr, S lopes Only 35.9 54.2 -- Pond Are3 Only 68.5 52 .4 0.29

CONCLUSiCN3

The pond area shows: 2 . 7 4 X Background i n Cu

2 . 1 X Background i n Zn

2 . 9 X Background i n A g
