Other/historical names associated with this locality:
NBMG Sample Site 2903
Structure: Shear Zones
Alteration: Local Silicification Of Shear Zones; Argillization Of Granodiorite In Shear Zones.
Deposit: Mineral exploration activity here appears to be centered on north-trending shear zones which cut granodiorite and intrude quartzite. The shear zones are heavily stained and coated with iron oxide minerals, and are locally silicified. The granodiorite in the shear zones is commonly argillized. The shear zones are generally high angle. This area is in the contact zone between metasedimentary rocks and granodiorite. Most of the rock exposed in trenches near the sample point is granodiorite.
Deposit type: Polymetallic veins
Development: Claims 3-4 km to the north (buffalo group) are owned by southern pacific land co. The work here was probably done in the last 2-4 years.
Rock formation(s): Havallah
Ore(s): N-Trending Shear Zones
