Type of structure Regional
Structure description The Methow Gneiss Is A Tonalitic Gneiss That Has Been Metamorphosed To Amphibolite Grade (Bunning, 1990).

Controls for ore emplacement

  • Several Veins Are Present At The Property. The Mineralized Rock Consists Of Northeast-Striking, Steeply Dipping, Quartz Veins That Cut The Gneiss. Several Dikes Are Parallel To Basic Dikes That Cut The Gneiss (Culver And Broughton, 1945, P. 46).

Comments on the geologic information

  • THE VVEINS ARE IN TONALITIC GNEISS OF THE CRETACEOUS METHOW GNEISS THAT HAS BEEN CUT BY DIKES OF PROBABLE EOCENE AGE (BUNNING, 1990, GEOL. MAP; CULVER AND BROUGHTON, 1945, P. 46).
