Comments on the geologic information

  • THE MINERALIZED AREA SEEMS TO PARALLEL THE AXIS OF AN ANTICLINICAL FLEXURE IN LIMESTINE. FLANKING THE LIMESTONE BLOCK ON THE NORTH AND IN FAULT CONTACT WITH THE LIMESTONE IS A DIORITE FORMATION. NORTH AND EAST OF THE PROPERTY THE BASEMENT ROCKS ARE COVERED BY ANDESITIC TUFFS AND FLOW ROCKS. ON THE SOUTH ALLUVIUM OBSCURES THE UNDERLYING FORMATIONS. THE ANDESITIC TUFFS AND FLOWS ARE OF TERTIARY AGE.

General comments

Subject category Comment text
Deposit MINERALIZATION OCCURS ALONG AN EAST-TRENDING CALCITE VEIN WHERE CROSS FAULTS INTERSECT THIS VEIN. SMALL AMOUNTS OF ARGENTIFEROUS GALENA ARE SCATTERED ALONG VEIN, BUT POTENTIAL ORE DEPOSITS ARE CONFINED IN CRUSHED AREAS OR PIPES AT INTERSECTION OF FAULTS WITH VEIN. MINERALS EXPOSED HERE ARE COMPLETELY OXIDIZED, SHOWING PB-CARBONATE, ZN-SILICATES, WULFENITE, AND HEMATITE STAINING ON WALLS.
Deposit FORMER OPERATORS APPARENTLY RECOVERED SOME ORE FROM THE OLDEST SHAFT (KNOWN AS NO. 3 SHAFT). LUNDGREN AND SWANSON AS OF EARLY 1947 DID NOT SHIP ORE FROM PROPERTY, BUT HAD ABOUT 10 TONS OF MEDIUM GRADE OXIDIZED PB-AG ORE SEGREGATED ON THE DUMP OF NO. 2 SHAFT. ; INFO.SRC : 2 UNPUB REPT
