| Deposit | GOLD-BEARING ZONES OCCUR SUBPARALLEL TO THE NOR-ACME FAULT (FORMERLY CALLED THE HOWE SOUND FAULT) WHICH STRIKES SOUTHWEST AT ITS WESTERN END AND SOUTHEAST AT ITS EASTERN END AND APPROXIMATELY PARALLELS THE CONTACT BETWEEN FELSIC PYROCLASTIC ROCKS AND MAFIC MASSIVE TO PILLOWED FLOWS. MINERALIZATION FORMS AN ELONGATE 300 M. BODY AT THE SURFACE, BUT OCCURS IN 4 SEPARATE ZONES AT DEPTH: TOOTS, DICK, RUTTAN, AND HOGG. |
