Roddy options Gold Bar

During the period 1907-1909, the property produced 24,000 tons of ore averaging 0.88 oz of gold per ton from an oxidized breccia pipe measuring 40×50 ft and dipping at 30 degrees . The ore is known to continue to depth but due to an increase in the sulphide content it was reported not amenable to treatment by the stamp mills in use at that time.

Four more pipes, some with scattered low grade gold mineralization, have been identified within a 3,500 ft radius. Within the same area, another pipe-like zone of strong brecciation with strong copper staining and gold values up to 0.322 oz of gold per ton is also present. A zone of quartz veins, two to three ft wide locally up to 15 ft wide, and with values in grab samples assaying over one oz per ton was traced intermittently over a strike length of about 1,000 ft in the same area.
