Bren-Mac Prospect


A copper prospect on the south side of Vesper Peak. The ore occurred as blebs of sulfides in a large breccia zone in metasediments. Pockets up to several feet in diameter occurred, occasionally with clear quartz crystals. It was developed by around 5000' of underground workings throughout several adits and 17,000' of core drilling. Most of the work was done by Bren Mac Mines.

Porphyry Cu-Mo deposit located along Vesper Creek.
