Alteration: Wallrock Sericitized & Silicified; Gabbro Highly Altered Resembling Limestone
Deposit: The ore occurs As small lenses and pods in a mineralized fault zone. Antimony minerals are most abundant in the NE part of fault zone, but do occur more rarely to s W in fault zone. Some of the richest ore was found near the intersection of the main fault zone and small cross faults that offset the fault zone 1 to 2 feet. First located during world war i. Small quantity of ore was shipped in 1918. Green bros. (averill & frank) worked mine for 3 years (1933-36?) stockpiling 30 tons of ore. Greenmine also worked during the periods 1936-37, 1952-54 and 1962-67. Developed by 4 adits, totaling 410 feet explore a mineralized fault zone 120 feet along strike and 55 feet down dip. Some stopes driven from adits. South of main workings six short adits explore complex fault zone. ; info.src : 1 pub lit; 2 unpub rept; 3 field observ
