Hi AJ

Interesting stuff, Ann Sabina of the Can. Geo. Survey wrote a series
of feild guides on old abandonned mines and surface showings.

Gives complete details on localisation and good petrological & mineralogical description & fossils, very educationnal.

These guides cover Canada from ocean to ocean including the Alaska Highway.

These books have taken this city slicker to really strange, weird & dangerous places.. the last one was a partially flodded hard rock apatite mine 200m deep with 7 levels just out of Ottawa.

Looked like an abandonned subway station to this Frog !

Great Leopard orbicular granit there.

If anyone goes to such : WATCH OUT FOR THE HOLES IN THE GROUND.

PS after going down in these abandonned dark watery slimy infectious 'holes in the ground' : I AIN'T AFRAID OF NOTHING NO MORE !!!

There you go Joe we finally agree on wsomething even if it non WSP related. Alot of the old gold showings were worked on up here in the 30s, 40s and 50s. Back when the cut off grade for ore was around one oz per ton and alteration zones etc were poorly understood. So they make good prospects. Also interesting history.
Just as all the airborne data from the diamond rush in a few years will be great data for future prospectors looking for base metals etc. I'll bet more miles were flown in a few years of the diamond rush then all the data befor. It will take a few years befor it all gets filled and becomes public but it will be a wealth of data.
regards Walt
