Ore body information

  • General form IRREGULAR
    Width 9.14M

Controls for ore emplacement

  • Fissures

Comments on the geologic information

  • ANDESITE AND RHYOLITE PORPHYRIES ARE TRAVERSED BY A SERIES OF FISSURES HAVING STRIKES AVERAGING ABOUT S35E, BUT VARYING FROM S15E TO S65E. THE FISSURES CONTAIN VEINS OF QUARTZ AND ALTERED COUNTRY ROCK. POST-MINERALIZATION FAULT MOVEMENTS HAVE CRUSHED AND PULVERIZED THE VEIN MATERIAL. ORIGINAL MINERALIZATION BY GOLD AND SILVER WAS AT TIME OF FORMATION OF THE VEINS. LEACHING AND ALTERATION BY HOT SPRING ACTION HAVE REDISTRIBUTED THE SILVER VALUES TO A CONSIDERABLE EXTENT AND THE GOLD VALUES TO SOME EXTENT.

General comments

Subject category Comment text
Deposit SERIES OF 3 OR MORE VEINS. MOST OF THE ORE AND VEIN FILLING IS LOOSE AND FRIABLE. NO. 1 VEIN (SW) IS 6-10 FT WIDE AND OUTCROPS ON SURFACE ABOUT 1/4 MILE. THIS VEIN HAD ORE OF GOOD GRADE, NO. 2 VEIN CONTAINS MUCH BARITE AND LOW VALUES IN AU & AG.
