Economic information

Comments on the geologic information

  • THE COUNTRY ROCK, A SILICIFIED FELSIC CRYSTAL TUFF, CONTAINS FELDSPAR PHENOCRYSTS WHICH ARE ALTERED TO KAOLIN AND SERICITE. THE ROCK CONTAINS MINOR FINE-GRAINED, DISSEMINATED, MAGNETITE (?) AND BIOTITE. SMALL FRACTURES CONTAIN FINE-GRAINED SPECULARITE IN QUARTZ. EARTHY RED HEMATITE OCCURS ALONG SOME OF THE FRACTURES. SOME OF THE FELSIC TUFF HAS BEEN SHEARED ALMOST TO MYLONITE. IN A FEW INSTANCES BIOTITE ACCOMPANIES QUARTZ AND FELDSPAR. THERE IS NO EVIDENCE OF SULFIDE METALLIZATION.
