Alteration: The Rocks In The Vicinity Are Locally Silicified And Argillized.
Deposit: A narrow quartz-antimony vein near the contact of the pumpernickel formation and leucogranite. The vein is on the contact in places but more commonly is in the granite. Pods and individual stibnite crystals are scattered throughout the vein, associated with pyrite and tetrahedrite. Pyrite and tetrahedrite occur in the vitreous white,massive to rarely saccharoidal or drusy vein matter; model name could also be: simple Sb. Deposit is developed by four trenches and a 77-ft. Inclined shaft with a 10 ft. Drift extending north from the bottom on a narrow quartz-antimony vein near the contact of the pumpernickel formation and leucogranite. The vein is on the contact in places but more commonly is in the granite. The name of the claims is from an area of bulldozer cuts 500 m to the nw. ; info.src : 1 pub lit; 3 field observ
Deposit type: Hot-spring Au-Ag
Geology: Pods and individual stibnite crystals commonly with quartz are scattered throughout the vein, associated with pyrite and tetrahedrite.
