Vein systems in shale and schistose rocks yield rich silver ores
The report details quartz veining in schistose rocks and shale with galena-rich ribs. It notes vein widths from inches to feet, pockets of ore, and gold and silver contents. Prominent districts include West Kootenay, with notable outcrops at Black Shale and calcareous zones, plus smelter developments at Golden Revelstoke and Pilot Bay.
