Structure: Faults And Shear Zones Shear Zones

Tectonics: Cerrillos Uplift

Deposit: The deposit is a well-defined shear-zone vein with several good walls distributed within a width of about 15 feet. The ore is oxidized down to the water level, sulfide ore occurred below the water level. Zinc ores are said to prevail at depth. The grand central mine and the franklin mine are included, by some authors, with the cash entry mine. For the USGS mrds project they are considered seperately. ; info.src : 1 pub lit; 2 unpub rept
