Abstract

The Veteran pit area of the Robinson District in White Pine County of Nevada has been studied significantly over the last 100 years and yet there are still questions that remain about its structural history. The Veteran Extension is the area northwest of the Veteran pit and is the next scheduled work area for the Robinson Nevada Mining Company. Despite historical and recent studies of the Veteran Extension there remains some doubt as to the credibility of the current geologic model of this area. Part of the doubt comes from incomplete database records, part from differing opinions of the genesis of the ore body and part from the interpretations of the unusual depth of oxidation. Original drill logs in the work area were compiled to test the accuracy of the drill hole data base and come up with a new set of cross sections to be compared to the current geologic model. No field work was performed since this project's goal is to create sections based on the original drill logs only, then to be compare later with other models.
