Structure: Upper Plate Of Diamond Tunnel Thrust
Deposit: Orebodies occur As sulfide replacements where faults & fractures intersect favorable dolomite layers the property is located in the central portion of the prospect ridge area, one of five mineralized blocks in the district. ; info.src : 1 pub lit
Geology: The ore bodies occur where channel ways such As faults, fissures, bedding planes and brecciated zones lead into permeable beds of dolomite (massive units that were "ground prepared") by being fractured or subjected to solution cavities. In such area the ore minerals were precipatated and later oxidized. (nolan, 1962)
Rock formation(s): Hamburg Dolomite
Ore(s): Fractured Permeable Zones And Where Faults Intersect Favorable Beds Of Dolomite
