| Deposit | The mine area consists of a system of E-W veins in a shear zone that crosses the range. Veins cut Mesozoc and Tertiary metamorphic and volcanic rocks and andesite and rhyolite dikes that occupy many of the fault strands. Near the surface, the veins have a braided pattern and range in thickness from 2 to 10 ft. Veins consist of vuggy, fine-grained quartz, angular fault breccia, and locally abundant pyrite and calcite. Ore is mainly free-gold, cerargyrite, and argentite. Silver values reportedly increase with depth. Sample 3953 was collected from a shaft at the east end of the vein system, and consists of vuggy, iron-stained quartz and sericite without visible mineralization. |
