Deposit: The mineralization is localized in a highly brecciated shear zone trending N W in strongly argillized purple andesite. Fault gouge and some wall rock have been replaced, and some fissures are filled with veins on siliccous fluorspar that range in width from a few inches to 3 ft. The wider parts are small pods of ore irregularly arranged in the fractured zone. The fluorspar is translucent, green, or colorless, chiefly fine-grained and intimately mixed with quartz that amounts to about 30% of the whole. This record contains data from record d011428 by ron worl which has been deleted from mrds. ; info.src : 1 pub lit
Development: Four percussion drill holes were included in eugene belcher's assessment work.
