Deposit: White quartz vein, 10-15 ft wide follows foliation in shaley hornfels wallrock. At portal of adit vein and wallrock roll to vertical dip. Vein appears to be very irregular along strike to the SW with fingers of quartz lacing footwall of main vein. Vein fragments on dump very heavy with sulfides, oxidized to porous gossan.

Deposit type: Low-sulfide Au-quartz vein

Development: No activity at time of examination in 1984.

Ore(s): Foliation Of Wallrock
