Alteration: Argillization, Sericitization, Chloritization, And Silicification
Tectonics: Basin And Range
Deposit: Mcnulty (1978) states that chances are good that replacement fluorspar deposits occur at depth in contact zones between the altered andesite and intrusive rhyolite dikes. This record includes data from record number d009982 by ronald g. Worl which has been deleted from mrds. ; info.src : 1 pub lit; 2 unpub rept fluorite crops out at many places over several tens of acres within the prospect area. Fluorspar deposits in the form of veins, veinlets, stockworks, and replacements of andesite are exposed in numerous workings. Irregular-shaped masses of jasperized andesite and rhyolite containing fluorite are scattered over the claims. A layer of high-grade fluorspar, 6 in to 3 ft thick, is exposed in a cut at the linda vista mine.
Geology: Prec granites exposed in the area of the white eagle mine (2 mi SE of the linda vista mine) are covered by tert extrusive andesite containing rhyolite dikes and masses.
Ore(s): Fault-Fracture Structural Control.
