Structure: Fault (Traceable For Several Hundred Yards.)

Alteration: Chloritization

Deposit: Quartz veins follo W both sets of shears.

Deposit type: Polymetallic veins

Geology: Sediments are intruded by quartz monzonite and alaskite dikes. Along contact between seds and igneous, seds are metamorphosed to schist and phyllites which in turn were chloritized. Host rocks are coated with chalcedonic silica and drusy quartz.

Rock formation(s): Wyman Canyon
