Deposit A PROMINENT RIB OF BANDED, FISSURE AND COCKSCOMB TYPE QUARTZ VEIN OUTCROPS AT SOUTH EDGE OF CAVED SHAFT. ENTIRE RIB IS COMPOSED OF SEVERAL BANDED, IRON-STAINED SUB-PARALLEL QUARTZ VEINS WHICH TOGETHER FORM A TOTAL VEIN OUTCROP WIDTH OF 3-4 FT. PRISMATIC COMB QUARTZ FORMS THE MID-PORTION OF VEIN OUTCROP WHILE MASSIVE TO CRUDELY BANDED WHITE, FE-STAINED QUARTZ COMPRISES REST OF VEIN. QUARTZ AFTER CALCITE LAMINAE ARE COMMON IN MORE MASSIVE WHITE VEIN MATERIAL. LATITE HOST IS SHEARED ON BOTH SIDES OF VEIN DUE TO FORCIBLE INTRUSION OF VEIN. ALSO SOME PORTIONS OF VEIN APPEAR BRECCIATED AND RECEMENTED BY QUARTZ. MASSIVE TO BANDED, PRISMATIC TO SUGARY, WHITE QUARTZ VEIN MATERIAL FROM DUMP CONTAINS OXIDIZED PYRITE AND POSSIBLY MINOR MAGNETITE. SOME CLEAR TO PINK FLUORITE POSSIBLY INTERGROWN WITH VEIN MATERIAL OR COATING VUGS. ALSO SOME VEIN MATERIAL IS HEAVY AND MAY CONTAIN BARITE. ROCK IS VUGGY AND IRON-STAINED.
