Controls for ore emplacement

  • A Fracture Zone In Andesite 80-100 Feet Wide Contains Locally Distributed Copper And Minor Amounts Of Gold And Silver (Huntting, 1956, P. 63). Mineralization Occurs In Many Small Shears In Shattered Andesitic Pyroclastic Rocks That Are Cut By Several Plagioclase Porphyry Dikes.

Comments on the geologic information

  • THE DEPOSIT IS IN ANDESITE OF ISABELLA RIDGE, WHICH IS OF PROBABLE CRETACEOUS AGE (STOFFEL AND MCGRODER, 1990).
