Comments on the geologic information

  • Geologic Description = The country rocks in the area of this reported occurrence are Tertiary or Cretaceous leucocratic quartz monzonite and granodiorite of the Coast Range Batholith, and roof pendants of Mesozoic or Paleozoic metapelitic and metavolcanic strata, locally including marble (Koch, 1996). On Koch's (1997) map, the occurrence appears to be in the plutonic rocks between metamorphic roof pendants, or alternatively, in an outcrop of metamorphic rocks too small to show at the scale of Koch's map. Other than location and unverified occurrence of silver, no other geologic information about this site has been made public
