| Deposit | WORKINGS EXPLORE A SERIES OF FAULTS AND SHEARS AND THE N END OF THE YUBA DIKE, A PRINCIPAL CONTRIBUTOR TO THE MINERALIZATION OF THE AREA. MUCH OF THE FAULT BRECCIA SHOWS MILLING TEXTURE WITH JAROSITE AND FE-MN OXIDES COATING MOST EXPOSED SURFACES. THE QUARTZITE RANGES FROM WHITE TO GREY-ROSE COLORED WITH PROMINENT BANDING. PODS OF VERY FINE-GRAINED ARGENTIFEROUS ? MINERAL ALONG WITH GALENA AND OTHER SULFIDES ARE DISSEMINATED THROUGHOUT THE BRECCIA. YELLOW OXIDES ARE ALSO COMMON ON EXPOSED SURFACES. ABUNDANT SERICITE IS PRESENT. LOCALLY THE BRECCIA ZONES ARE SILICIFIED AND ABUNDANT GOSSAN OCCURS WHERE ORE MINERALS HAVE WEATHERED OUT. LATE OPALINE SILICA IS DEPOSITED ON FRACTURE SURFACES AND IRON SULFIDES HAVE ALTERED TO SPECULAR HEMATITE. EUHEDRAL QUARTZ CRYSTALS LINE CAVITIES. QUARTZ VEIN MATERIAL WHICH FILLS FAULT FISSURES EXHIBITS BRECCIATION AND IS RECEMENTED WITH SILICA, AND CONTAINS BANDS OF FINELY DISSEMINATED GREY SULFIDES |
