These 6 samples were taken by a visiting geologist from a major, brand name mining company.
All are grab samples of whole rock. VGR -20 & 22 are from road cuts. The other 3 samples are from Johnson Gulch. In particular, #23 was picked up off the ground where a core drill platform was setup in the summer of 2003, and where the trench ended that is shown in the video on this website.
