Structure: Granodiorite Stocks And Assoc. Faults
Alteration: Silicification
Deposit: Lode is in silicified limestone 300 ft. N. Of the granodiorite contact the lode is 8 ft. Wide and dips toward the granodiorite. Carbonates and sulfides of copper occur As stringers up to a foot wide in the lime silicate mass in 1916, a shipment of 7 1/2 ton of ore was sent to the garfield smelter. It ran 14.8% cu, 10.2% fe, 5.05 oz/ton ag, and .02 oz/ton au. In 1929 the mine produced and shipped 400 tons of ore containing 5.5% cu and 13 oz/ton ag. The 12 ft. By 12 ft. Shaft is sunk 80 feet on the ore. The lode is in silicified limestone 300 feet north of the granodiorite contact. The lode is 8 ft. Wide. Both lode and bedding dip 70 deg - 80 deg s, toward the granodiorite (schrader, 1935, p 33). The alice claim is one of the grey copper. Corp. Upper group of claims (schrader, 1935) mineral survey no 4234 ; info.src : 1 pub lit
Deposit type: Skarn Cu
Development: In 1916, a shipment of 7 1/2 tons of ore was sent to the garfield smelter. In 1929, the mine produced and shipped 400 tons ore
Geology: Carbonates and sulfides of cu occur As stringers (up to a foot wide) within the silicute mass. The sulfides are more abundant in the quartzose zones of the mass. Axinite present As gongue mineral through out contact zone.
Ore(s): Granodiorite Contact, Dikes, Faults
