A copper-silver-gold prospect located 3 1/2 southwest of the center of Anacortes on Fidalgo Island but just within city limits. It worked mineralized disseminations and fractures in granite. Development includes 8 small shafts.
Tectonics: Active Margin (Leading Edge Of North American Plate). Accreted Terrane
Deposit: Copper is disseminated and in fractures in shear zone in granite. Expected deposit types in this region are low-sulfide Au quartz veins, of which this deposit may be one, although a granitic host rock is not typical. What little descriptive information is available suggests a porphyry copper deposit, but they are not present in this environment. It may be a polymetallic vein, but the deposit type is really unknown
Deposit type: Polymetallic veins
Ore(s): Fractures In Shear Zone
