Economic information

Ore body information

  • General form QUARTZ VEINS AND BRECCIA

Comments on the geologic information

  • QUARTZ VEINS AND BRECCIA IN FISSURES SOME OF THE VEINS WERE NOT FAULT HOSTED. SINCE FREE GOLD WAS REPORTED IN THE AREA , IT MAY BE THAT THE CENTRAL MINES HAD THE SAME TYPE OF DEPOSIT AND THEREFORE MINED THE VEIN SYSTEM TO THE SURFACE. ; GEOL.DESC: REFER TO RECORD NO. M035284
