The ho'e passed through 22 ft. of vein matter which .is believed to be the downward extension:of a wide quartz vein exposed on' surface. A fivefoot porphyry dyke and another five feet of vei. material were also encounter- ed, while a quartz stringer was inter- sected in greenstone formation at a depth of 320 ft. The hole, aimed to crosscut the formation, is being con- tinued for another 300 to 400 ft,, Mr. Young reports. A crew is also engagy ed in « ipping and trenching other veins in preparation for the spotting of dditional holes. Surface exploration is proceeding on the lartansn Malart:s Gold Mine pro- perty in Malartic 'township, Quebec, " while.a campaign of diamond 'drilling has just commenced to further explore the "ore zone revealed in previous drilling operations. A series of holes will be drillec along the major axis of the known sedimentary formation. In the report of Alexander P. Rog ors, it is stated that the surface is "heavily covered with muskeg, and the drill, holes go far put down. have shown a geological structure with: masses. of porphyry and sheared sedi ments, as well: as silicifled sections | ' - containing 'commercial - gold "values across. fair widths, : Buildings: suffic: ent to accommodate the operating crew, for the: winter's developments work have beemr completed."
