Alteration: Scapolitized
Deposit: Magnetite-hematite occurs in two intersecting veins. Shipping grade ore occurs As lenses & pods throughout the veins. Property is owned by southern pacific co. And was leased to nevada iron ore and to nevada barth. Workings consist of open pits 660 feet long, 70 ft. Deep, and 30 to 80 ft. Wide; 500 ft. Long, 75 ft. Deep, and 75 ft. Wide ; info.src : 1 pub lit; 2 unpub rept; 3 field observ
Deposit type: Skarn Fe
Development: Leased to nevada iron ore and to nevada barth.. Inactive in 1985
Geology: Magnetite-hematite occurs in two intersecting veins. Shipping grade ore occurs As lenses & pods throughtout the veins. Lake lahontan deposits cover much of the iron deposits to the depths of fe W tens of feet.
Ore(s): Intersections Transverse Fissures With The Veins
