Structure: E-W And A Ne Trending Faults
Alteration: Silicification
Tectonics: Basin And Range
Deposit: Fluorspar occurs in silicified breccia along faults in ordovician limestone near the contact of the underlying precambrian granite. The fluorite occurs both As coarse-crystalline void fillings and As a sugary replacement of limestone. In the area of the prospect a fluoritized, silicified breccia or jasperoid zone forms the hanging wall at the intersection of an east and a NE trending fault.
Rock formation(s): El Paso
Ore(s): Brecciated Faults In A Favorable Limestone Horizon.
