Structure: Northwest Striking Bullion Fault And Many Northeast Trending Cross Fractures.
Alteration: Silicified Dolomite
Deposit: Ore deposits formed As massive bedding replacements and fissure fillings along the northwest striking bullion fault zone. The bullion and superior deposits contain oxidized ores in silicified and brecciated dolomite along the main fault zone. The lady franklin deposits contain oxidized ore in fractures striking n55e to n80e and within dolomite As bedding replacement. 9 patented claims covering 82.31 acres. Discovery year: 1880's scattered dunes, elongate n-s
Geology: For general geology see kingston district.
Rock formation(s): Fusselman Dolomite;Percha Shale
Ore(s): Mineralized Solutions Were Channeled Along Faults And Deposited In Fractures And Brecciated Zones
