Other/historical names associated with this locality:
Steele; Piute Group; NBMG Sample Location 1770
Structure: Fault
Alteration: Kaolinization , Silicification, Silicification
Deposit: Weathering leaves a flourspar ridge up to 60 ft high. 2-3 ft veins and veinlets are found within 150 x 40 ft zone. The workings have exposed a pod of highly brecciated, strongly silicified vuggy vein material containing green-purple fluorspar. The vein is within a highly silicified crystal-lithic breccia that forms bold outcrops and cliffs on the west side of the drainage. Sample 1770 was taken across the vein and assayed detectable gold.
