lode. The more southern, also overlain by heavy overburden, is on
strike with a recently discovered boulder that contained high
silver, lead and zinc content.

property. The Van Roi mined 284,706 tonnes until its closure in
1957, with an average grade of 305 g/tonne silver, 2.6% zinc and
2.8% lead. The Hewitt produced 112,573 tonnes of ore with an
average grade of 529 g/tonne silver, 2.4% zinc and 1.5% lead.
