| Deposit | MINERALIZATION FORMS A TABULAR BEDDED REPLACEMENT BODY WITH A STRIKE LENGTH OF ABOUT 250 FT, 40 FT THICK. MINERALIZATION IS STRONGEST NEAR THE CENTER OF THE BODY AND IS MARKEDLY WEAKER 10-20 FT TO EITHER SIDE. THE REMAINDER OF THE ALTERED BODY CONSISTS OF DOLOMITIZED LIMESTONE. STRONGEST ALTERATION AND MINERALIZATION IS LOCALIZED AT THE CONTACT OF THE LOWER MEDIUM-BEDDED, AND THE UPPER THIN-BEDDED PARTS OF THE PEASLEY. WORKINGS SHOW LOCALLY ABUNDANT GALENA AND SOME SPHALERITE. TRACE AMOUNTS OF DIKE ROCK ARE PRESENT ON THE DUMP, BUT DIKES WERE NOT SEEN IN THE WORKINGS. NUMEROUS BEDDING FAULTS CUT THE UPPER THIN-BEDDED PART OF THE PEASLEY MEMBER. |
