Structure: 2 Sets Steep Faults Trending Wnw & Nne; Graben
Deposit: Jasperoid, barite, gossan, and locally remnants of pyrite occur in irregular veinlike bodies. Some gossan-rich silificied zones stand out As ribs on the surface. The upper slope of the hill here is predominantly gray dolomite, while the lower adit has its portal in tuffaceous sandstone and conglomerate. The barite veins and stockworks and the jasperoid zones seem to trend N or ne, near vertical to 60w. Some gossan-barite-jasperoid zones are 1 m or more wide. Hemimorphite is reported by papke (1984) seven unpatented lode mining claims were located in 1963. Development consists of old shallow prospect workings done in 1920's or early 1930's. Trenches made in 1965 by tri-metals co and a trial shipment of 946 lbs sorted ore was made in august 1965. ; info.src : 1 pub lit; 2 unpub rept; 3 field observ
Deposit type: Polymetallic veins
Development: Early prospect workings from 1920's or 1930's. A trial shipment of 946 lbs ore was made in august, 1965. Numerous bulldozer roads,recently graded (1984)
Geology: A WNW mineralized fault ("barite-vein") cuts through the graben of favret formation. North of this mineralized fault, 6 to 10 veins varying from a few inches to 3 feet wide strike n25 W and dips 55sw. South of the mineralized fault a strong vein-gossan 7 ft. Wide strikes n25 W & dips 50sw.
Rock formation(s): Favret Formation
Ore(s): Graben (Fault Zones)
