Deposit NO SPECIFIC MENTION OF GOLD MADE IN USGS B 929, P. 135-136, BUT BECAUSE OF AMOUNT OF DEVELOPMENT MADE IT IS ASSUMED THAT SOME GOLD MUST HAVE BEEN PRESENT. ; INFO.SRC : 1 PUB LIT
Deposit FAULT ZONE IN GRAYWACKE CONTAINS QUARTZ UP TO 1 FT. THICK AND DIKES UP TO 6 FT. THICK. CROSS JOINTS CUTTING DIKE AND GRAYWACKE CONTAIN QUARTZ VEINLETS UP TO 4 IN. THICK WITH PYRITE AND ARSENOPYRITE.
