Structure: Osburn Fault and West Fault, WNW striking shears. NE-trending faults that link the Osburn and West Faults. Deposit within overturned NE limb of a WNW-trending anticline.

Alteration: Upper levels of orebody oxidized.

Tectonics: Belt Basin

Deposit type: Polymetallic veins

Geology: Host rocks variously identified as Burke Formation and St. Regis Formation quartzite. Early workers apparently did not recognize that stratigraphy was overturned. Rocks traditionally assigned to the St. Regis-Revett transition zone are now recognized as upper Revett Formation.

Rock formation(s): Revett Formation


Ore(s): Ore-bearing structure links the West Fault and the Osburn Fault. Orebody hosted by Revett Formation quartzite.
