Sergei Diakov and Stan Keith display Stan's first geologic map of the Seven-nine Mine Area, which includes the western portion of the Chilito deposit.  Stan prepared the water color map on parchment during 1970, while he was an undergraduate at the University of Arizona, working on an independent study for John Guilbert.  (Photo by Stan Keith)
