Deposit JOSEPH (1990, GEOL. MAP) SHOWS THE MINE IS IN PORPHYRITIC GRANODIORITE OF MANILA CREEK. BECAUSE HUNTTING (1956, P. 290) NOTES THE MINE IS IN SCHIST, THE AREA MUST BE A SMALL ROOF PENDANT IN THE PALEOCENE TO EOCENE GRANITIC BODY. THE AREA ALSO CONTAINS NUMEROUS DACITE DIKES (JOSEPH, 1990, GEOL. MAP). ; INFO.SRC : 1 PUB LIT
