linear features trending north 65° west directly through <br />,• the area of the present underground mine. Field checks <br />in the area show many joints in the area which approximately <br />parallel this zone and one fracture which has apparently <br />already been encountered in the underground workings. <br />Careful tracing of exposed outcrops along this trend <br />reveal no substantial offset on other linear trends <br />within this zone." <br />Again, Mr. Marrs observations', when carried to the field, <br />indicate that where some faulting is apparent with significant <br />offset; the trace cannot be followed physically in any <br />direction for more than a few hundred feet. <br />With the results of these studies in hand, in addition to <br />the work done in 1978 by J.B. Ivey, field mapping was conducted <br />to verify the location of faults. The surface expression of <br />the first fault was easy to locate. In one area, however, it <br />could not be traced in any direction for more than about 300 <br />feet. Empire had been aware of this fault for several <br />years. Another fault was found on the surface, and two <br />points on each fault were surveyed and are plotted on Exhibit A. <br />The "other" fault is actually the third fault encountered. <br />The second fault has never been found on the surface. <br /> <br />
