Comments on the commodity information

  • ORE MINERALS LISTED ABOVE ARE REPORTED FROM MAMMOTH-REVENUE MINE, AND ALTHOUGH NOT ALL ARE SPECIFICALLY NOTED AT OTHER MINES IN DISTRICT, THEY ARE GENERALLY APPLICABLE TO THEM (BIRD, 1973). ARSENOPYRITE REPORTED BY PATTON (1917) CITED FOR ENTIRE DISTRICT. PETZITE (TELLURIDE) REPORTED BY PATTON IN GILMORE AND PLATORO DISTRICTS WAS PROBABLY MISIDENTIFIED SULFIDE (BIRD, 1973). MINOR PRODUCTION OF CU AND PB UNCERTAIN DUE TO LACK OF OLDER PRODUCTION RECORDS.

General comments

Subject category Comment text
Deposit CLAIMS LIE IN AXELL DISTRICT AND APPARENTLY DEVELOP SW EXTENSION OF CALIFORNIA GULCH (MAJOR DAWN) FAULT AS MAPPED BY BIRD (1973). FAULT TRENDS ABOUT N 55 E, DOWNTHROWN ON SE, WITH SHORT SUBPARALLEL FAULT TO SE. BOTH OF THESE FAULTS ARE INTERSECTED BY TWO SHORT N 0 TO 10 W-TRENDING FAULTS THAT APPEAR TO BE RESURGENT RADIAL FAULTS (WITH RESPECT TO CALDERA RIM). AS CALIFORNIA GULCH FAULT IS THE MAJOR SOUTH-BOUNDING FAULT OF THE CORNWALL RESURGENT BLOCK, IT IS PROBABLY DEEP ENOUGH TO HAVE TAPPED UNDERLYING MAGMA CHAMBER, THUS PROVIDING CONDUIT FOR MINERALIZING SOLUTIONS.
