Long-form identifier:

mindat:1:2:40342:2

GUID (UUID V4):

became Treadwell-Yukon Mine after 1925
Structure: The 2g Fault, Uncle Sam Fault, Dimick, Fault, And Gilmore Fault.Post-Mineral Faulting With Considerable Offset Of Ore Zones.

Alteration: Oxidation Of Ore Down To The 710 Ft Level.Pervasive Sericitization,Pyritization, And Calcite Replacement Of Host Rock And Silicification Of Limestone Adjacent To Ore. Also Some Propylitization.

Deposit: Best ore in shattered porphyry

Deposit type: Polymetallic replacement

Development: Treadwell-yukon acquired and consolidated many of the tybo properties in 1925. They operated from 1929 to 1937 and sank the hales shaft. A power line was being installed in 1981 and it was listed As an active underground rehabilitation employing 8 persons.

Geology: Early production was from rich,near-surface oxidized ore.

Rock formation(s): Hales Limestone

Ore(s): Plane Of The 2g Fault.
