A former underground Au-Ag-Cu mine. Produced 1913-1938.
Mineralization is a vein deposit with a tabular ore body. Ore control was faulting, shearing, and igneous activity. Ore concentration was oxidation at near surface. Alteration was minor sericitization along vein walls.
Area structures include veins parallel to mafic dikes which trend NE and dip at low angles, usually less than 40 degrees. Foliation in Precambrian metamorphic rocks trends N10E to N25E. Local granitic rocks are unfoliated.
