GRANITE - MARBLE CONTACTS (SKARNS)

These were generally barren, but minor amounts of pyrrhotite and lesser chalcopyrite were found near Penance Pass (North ridge of [unclear: Miers] Valley), south of the snout of the Taylor Glacier and on the east side of Nussbaum Riegal. Traces of Malachite Here present at most of these localities. The two Taylor Valley localities appeared to be impure beds within a dominantly marble sequence and were not in direct contact with granite. One mineralised boulder was found in Taylor Valley moraine but it was similar to, and within one mile of, the in situ occurrence south of the Taylor Glacier snout. It is planned to examine the pyrrhotite in polished section to see if any nickel sulphide (pentlandite) is present.
