Comments on the geologic information

  • METAMORPHIC FOLIATION PARALLELS THE FAULT OR SHEAR ZONE. MALACHITE & LIMONITE OCCUR AS FRACTURE COATINGS, POSSIBLY THE SERICITE IS FORMED BY THE ALTERATION OF BIOTITE. NO SULFIDE MINERALS SEEN. THE METAMORPHIC ROCKS PROBABLY HAVE AN INTERMEDIATE-COMPOSITION PROTOLITH. THIS PROSPECT RESEMBLES MANY OTHERS ON THE NORTH END OF FRED'S MOUNTAIN. CARL WICKSTROM, WHO HAS PROSPECTED THE AREA, SAYS BORNITE IS PRESENT IN A FEW PLACES ON THE SIDE OF FRED'S MT. TO THE WEST OF THIS LOCALITY.
