Copper
Deposit: Scheelite occurs As scattered crystals, generally with quartz, throughout a wide zone of broken and contorted limestone of the comus fm. The prospect is about 1 mile from the Stock, and is the only known occurrence of scheelite in the district outside of the narrow contact zone around the granodiorite. The copper ore occurs in narrow quartz veins on the proper-ty. The copper ore and scheelite do not occur together, and the average tungsten content is less than 0.1 % wo3. There are n-o known local concentrations of scheelite rich enough to permit selective mining.
Deposit type: Skarn Cu
Development: Small amounts of copper ore have been mined and shipped from the property, but no tungsten production is recorded.
