| Deposit | Near the old town of Rambler. "A series of schists and quartzites are cut by dikes of "diorite or gabbro" and all strike northwest. A 9 ft. to 22 ft. limonite zone lies between hanging wall schist and footwall quartzite. Malachite and azurite are associated with the limonite (gossan). Copper sulfides were found below the gossan."
