Deposit COPPER MINERALIZATION OCCURS IN SPOTTY VEIN QUARTZ ALONG A SHEAR ZONE IN LIGHT IAW DOLOMITE. SPOTTY VEIN QUARTZ (V-ITREOUS TO MILKY) WITH GREEN OXIDE COPPER MINERALS, CHALCOCITE-, GOSSAN, AND REMNANTS OF PYRITE AND CHALCOPYRITE OCCUR IN THE- SHEAR ZONE. THE QUARTZ VEIN MATTER IS MAINLY MASSIVE, BUT RAR-ELY CRUSTIFORM OR AS STOCKWORKS IN DOLOMITE. SURFACE OUTCROP O-F THE VEIN WAS APPARENTLY A GOSSAN-RICH QUARTZ-VEIN RIB.
