Alteration: Silicification, Argillization
Commodity: Fluorite is very light grey, fine-grained
Deposit: Fluorspar occurs in altered zone trending N55E, about 50 ft wide. Fluorite is in veins and pods, disseminated along veins and veinlets in a highly silicified/brecciated matrix. The host rock is a porphyritic latite that has been silicified along the margins of the vein. Alteration includes abundant iron oxides. Sample 1774 contains 0.05 Au.
Development: No activity in 1984
Geology: The altered zone is locally 500 ft wide. Mineralization is restricted to the central part of the zone.
Commodities: Fluorine-Fluorite Gold
