Geologic structures

Type of structure Regional
Structure description Migmatitic Parts Of The Gneiss Of Alta Lake; Migmatization Appears To Have Been A Polyphase Event That Involved Both Anatexis And Igneous Injection (Gulick And Korosec, 1990).

Controls for ore emplacement

  • Magnetite Is Intimately Intermixed With Large Amounts Of Hornblende And Actinolite. The Ore Is Coarse Grained And Has A Schistose Appearance. Ore Occurs In Seams And Thin Lenses. The Deposit Varies From A Few Feet To 15 Feet Thick And Is Exposed Along Strike For 400-500 Feet. The Mineralized Zone Grades Into The Gneiss And Migmatite (Shedd And Others, 1922).

Comments on the geologic information

  • THE FULLER DEPOSIT IS IN THE MIGMATITIC PART OF THE AMPHIBOLITE, SCHIST, AND GNEISS OF THE ALTA LAKE MIGMATITE. THE MIGMATITE IS GRADATIONAL WITH THE LAYERED METAMORPHIC ROCKS AND IS CHARACTERIZED BY IRREGULAR, LENTICULAR, SWIRLED, AND CONTORTED GRANITIC, TONALITIC, APLITIC, AND PEGMATITIC LEUCOSOMES (GULICK AND KOROSEC, 1990, P. 40).
