Structure: Granodiorite Stock With Assoc. Faults, Fractures

Alteration: Silicification

Deposit: Contact-metamorphosed limestone adjacent to granodiorite stock contains copper carbonates, sulfides and molybdenite developments include tunnels, raises, winzes, and short shafts. In this area generally the granodiorite is in contact with greatly disturbed and steeply dipping limestone, with abundant metamorphic minerals in a zone 1200 feet wide. Dikes, sheets, and irregular masses of granodiorite and alaskite cut the replaced limestone (schrader, 1935, p 35-6) this group was formerly known As the wilson or ivy wilson group (see schrader, 1912, p 129-31). ; info.src : 1 pub lit

Geology: (SEE SCHRADER, 1935, P 35-6; AND 1912, P 130)

Ore(s): Granodiorite Contact, Faults, Fractures, Dikes
