| Deposit | 2 TYPES OF MINERALIZED FAULTS WERE NOTED:(1) IRON-RICH GOSSAN (ORIGINALLY SULFIDE-RICH) ALONG FAULT ZONES, AND (2) MASSIVE WHITE QUARTZ VEINS WITH SPARSE (LESS THAN 1%) GALENA. LAMPROPHYRE DIKES CUT ACROSS QUARTZ VEINS AND PARALLEL AND CUT THE GOSSAN-RICH ZONES. THESE DIKES ARE NOT HYDRO THERMALLY ALTERED AND ARE PROBABLY POST-HYPOGENE ORE. |
