Comments on the geologic information

  • Geologic Description = This prospect consists of a gold-bearing igneous body that has been mapped by Newberry and others (1996) as a Cretaceous altered dike. This map unit contains altered quartz porphyry, tonalite, granodiorite, and undifferentiated mafic dikes. Grateful Dog Mining investigated this igneous body by drilling and using geochemical and magnetometer techniques (Bundtzen and others, 1990, p. 12). These investigations resulted in the definition of anomalous thorium, niobium, tantalum, and rare-earth elements in stockwork-like fissures in metaplutonic(?) rocks of the area (Bundtzen and others, 1987, p. 8).
