These veins would a;)pcar to be short and discontinuous,
80 that relflted structural features must be mapped further
and interpreted in order to completely access potential of the
vein shears.
Further proegecting, trenchina ond mnpplng will be
required on the north-south projection of thc veins from the known expouures on the crown grants to further acceee
poeeibilities of continuity.
