Colonial Secretary’s Office,
Wellington, 26th June, 1852.
HIS EXCELLENCY the Governor directs the publication of the following Report for general information.
By His Excellency’s command,
ALFRED DOMETT,
Colonial Secretary.
Nelson, May 25th, 1852.
To His Honor the Superintendent.
Sir,—I have now the honor to report the result of a visit I have made within these few days past, to the district supposed to contain copper in this vicinity.
The position of the Lode is in the immediate proximity of the “Dun Mountain,” which I find to be rendered arid by the presence of mineral poisons, and partly to its being covered with large and loose masses of Gneiss and other primitive rocks, subversive of vegetation.
The Lode is visible in the daylight far up a mountain higher than the “Dun Mountain;” it is of great width, but being only the outcrop, it is impossible until trials are made, to say what its true thickness may be.
A casual observer would imagine there were several Lodes, the fact will, I expect, be found that at a little depth only they will all run into one strong Lode.
