Alteration: Argillization
Deposit: Sample #3331 is of select and grab granodiorite with iron and copper oxide minerals.
Development: Within the last 10 (?) years a small attempt was made to vat leach mineralized rock from the open cuts, presumably with cyanide.
Geology: Iron oxide minerals and very sparse green oxide copper minerals occur As fracture coatings on slightly argillized to fresh mesozoic granodiorite. Nearby alteration occurs in tertiary rocks. The age and type of mineralization here are unknown.
