Comments on the geologic information

  • ALTERED BASALT IS MAIN COUNTRY ROCK. WEATHERED BASALT IS YELLOWISH TO LIGHT-BROWN; NEWLY FRACTURED SURFACES ARE FINE GRAINED AND GREENISH-GRAY. CONSPICUOUSLY ABSENT IS RED LIMESTONE THAT USUALLY ACCOMPANIES MN. IN DIRECT ASSOCIATION WITH THE MN MINERALIZATION IS A HIGHLY SILICEOUS, FERRUGINOUS "CAP ROCK". A FRESHLY FRACTURED SURFACE SHOWS SMALL VEINLETS OF CLEAR TO MILKY CRYSTALLINE QUARTZ.
