Similar mineralization is present in a possible low-angle north-trending fault zone in a small pit SW of the main shaft. Little obvious hydrothermal alteration; the greenstone may be locally argillized. Malachite and azurite along faults that strike NW and n-s in chert and greenstone associated with quartz monzonite porphyry intrusives ; info.src : 1 pub lit; 3 field observ
