  • General form LINEAR

Comments on the geologic information

  • THE VEIN HAS BEEN EXPLORED ON SOME OF THE UPPER LEVELS OF THE OLD DOMINION MINE, BUT APPARENTLY LITTLE IF ANY ORE WAS FOUND. NEAR THE 16TH LEVEL, THE VEIN PASSES FROM DIABASE INTO DRIPPING SPRING QUARTZITE AND NORTHWEST OF THE "A" SHAFT BETWEEN THE 18TH AND 20TH LEVELS, A LARGE BODY OF GOOD ORE WAS STOPED DURING THE FINAL YEARS OF OPERATION. BJORGE, 1928 WRITTEN COMMUNICATION, CITIES THIS ORE BODY AS AN EXAMPLE OF COPPER ORE OCCURRING BELOW LOW-GRADE, PYRITE VEIN MATTER; BUT HE ATTRIBUTES THE CHANGE IN TYPE OF METALIZATION TO THE CHANGE IN THE WALL ROCK FROM DIABASE TO SEDIMENTARY ROCKS
