Imlay Veiw Mine, Whinery Tungsten, NBMG Sample Site 2662
Structure: Shear Zone, Joints
Alteration: Kaolinization Of The Aplite; Sericitization Of Aplite
Deposit: Quartz-rich skarn and gossan lens along bedding plane in hornfels. Outcrop to the s W of the adit shows several 1-2 ft thick bands of gossany skarn in hornfels over about 30 ft of thickness stager reports a hornblende-andesite dike and aplitic sills to be present with scheelite occurring along joints in the kaolinized aplite. Scheelite is also reported to be present As disseminations in sheared, oxidized hornfels and breccia. Some rocks on the main dump contain up to 30% pyrite, accounting for the gossan outcrops.
Deposit type: W skarn
Development: No recorded production but ore bin attests to probable minor production
Geology: Grano diorite outcrops in the wash south of the mine and may underlie the mine area.
Rock formation(s): Auld Lang Syne Group
