Type of structure Regional
Structure description Rocks Of The Area Include Various Accreted (Melange) Terranes And Batholithic Rocks Representing Early Igneous Activity Of The Cascade Magmatic Arc.

Controls for ore emplacement

  • Ore Occurs In A Shear Zone That Ranges From A Few Inches To 27 Ft. Wide (Broughton, 1942, P. 15). Weaver (1912, P. 76) Describes The Mineralization As Irregularly Distributed In Lenses Accompanied By Considerable Amounts Of Crumbly Granite Resembling Arkose.

Comments on the geologic information

  • THE COUNTRY ROCK IS GRANODIORITE OF THE INDEX BATHOLITH (TABOR AND OTHERS, GEOL. MAP, P. 10) WHICH IS CUT BY NARROW DIKES OF GRANODIORITE PORPHYRY (WEAVER, 1912, P. 76).
