this was taken by my friends at 911 Mining on one of their properties near Mt Sicker on Vancouver Island, I used to have a bunch of shots from this little mine but i have no idea where they are in my archives. The colors are copper minerals, primarily bornite, chacopyrite, and malachite but there was minor galena in that mine as well. Its a stunning spot, the vein widens out to 3m in thickness in spots! Unfortunately this vein is discontinuous so its not likely to ever be mined, but 911 Mining has traced the vein elsewhere in surface road cuts, which could become a viable mine with further work. There is also a LOT of placer gold in nearby streams, but no free mill gold appears in these veins, its all copper, silver, lead, zinc.
