| Deposit | N45E, 80SE TREND TO WORKINGS AND BEDDING PLANE FRACTURES IN SILICATED MULE SPRING LIMESTONE ADJACENT TO QUARTZ MONZONITE PORPHYRY CONTACT. MINERALIZATION OCCURS IN LIMESTONE, QUARTZ VEINS AND TACTITE. 3 INTRUSIVE ROCK PHASES SEEN ON DUMP: QUARTZ MONZONITE PORPHYRY, DIORITE, AND DIORITE PORPHYRY. PYRITE OCCURS AS DISSEMINATIONS AND ALONG FRACTURES IN ALL 3 ROCKTYPES, QUARTZ MONZONITE PORPHYRY EXHIBITS STRONG SERICITIC ALTERATION OF PLAGIOCLASE. DIORITE AND DIORITE PORPHYRY ARE RELATIVELY FRESH. BUT HAVE POTASSIC ALTERATION ALONG FRACTURES. VERY MINOR QUARTZ VEINLET DEVELOPMENT IN INTRUSIVE ROCKS. |
