Structure: Faults, Nne Trending
Alteration: Kaolinization Of Diorite
Deposit: Cu oxide-stained shear zone in kaolinzed diorite with pods and lenses of white vein quartz (brecciated) along structure. Series of silicified Fe-oxide-stained outcrops mark a parallel shear zone N and S of badger. Structure at the badger shaft strikes N 80 e, dip 55 nw. The exposed zone is 10-15 ft thick with 1-ft wide quartz vein on hanging wall. A N 30 w, 80 NE fracture zone with pods of vein quartz along it intersects the NE structure in a pit about 100 ft west of the badger shaft. Alteration extends along both structures. Veins and adjacent wallrock are locally cu oxide-stained.
Deposit type: Polymetallic veins
Development: No activity when examined in 1985. Workings probably date from mid 1800's.
Ore(s): Shear Zone N 80 E, 55 Nw
