Sec 13, 24, 25 T9N R65E. Oxidized copper zinc
Structure: N50w Fault Vertical Dip
Alteration: Oxidation
Tectonics: Basin And Range Province
Deposit: Mineralization occurs As replacement bodies in limestone in the lower portion of the pioche shale. Quartz-garnet skarn contains sulfides, limonite and mno films. At the N end of the prospected area, trenches in upper mineralized horizons expose massive gossan with cu oxide stain and small pods of fluorite. An old shaft in this area may be the one mentioned by hill (1916). The replacement horizons extend to the NE where they have been prospected on the ad claims or scwartz area. The ore zones within the replacement horizons appear to be in an area of persistent n30-50e fracturing and are adjacent to the major nnw-trending faults which offset the section in this part of the range fragments of dense, fine-grained quartz-garnet skarn and highly altered intrusive rock are located on tailings dumps. ; info.src : 1 pub lit; 3 field observ
Deposit type: Skarn Cu
Development: 50-ft. Tunnel and several shallow works on site by 1916. Tunnel extended to 455 ft. In 1957.
Geology: The replacement horizons trend to the northeast and have been worked on the swartz claim area. The n50 W fault cuts the zone to the south. Contact of shale & quartzite dips 15e
Rock formation(s): Pioche Shale
Ore(s): N50w Fault, N30-65e Fracturing, And Faulting Along Contact Of Shale & Quartzite
