Comments on the geologic information

  • ROCK MAPPED AS QUESTIONABLE ALLAMOORE FORMATION INTERBEDDED WITH RHYOLITE OF THE CARRIZO MOUNTAIN GROUP. THE TALC-TREMOLITE-CALCITE ROCK IS, HOWEVER, PROBABLY PART OF THE CARRIZO MOUNTAIN GROUP. MINERALOGICALLY, THIS OCCURRENCE IS UNLIKE THE PRODUCING TALC MINES IN THE ALLAMOORE FORMATION.
