There is not much change in the inter* mediate level. There is still good mineral in the hangingwall portion of the reef, and gold is seen ireely through it. Stoping is being carried on as usual; the size of the reef varies in thickness from 3 to sft.< Gold is seen in all the stopes when breaking down the quartz.
