Alteration: Silicification, Argillization, Sericitization
Deposit: Silver mineralization associated with veins and silicified zones in a volcanic tuff. Geochem sampling has revealed anomalous arsenic, mercury, molybdenum, antimony and spotty gold. Brecciation associated with fine-grained pyrite in a silicified matrix from a vein bearing N 45 e, 50 n W in what was later described As a hanging wall complex (sample 3178). Sample 3187 was from a narrow 6-12 inch vein bearing N 25 e, reported to have been prospected by an indian. Quartz vein had visible ruby silver and other sulfides associated with a small adit in the hanging wall.
Development: An indian was reported to have mined the property for silver. Bob bottom held the ground and various companies have held it in the last 16 years. Considerable drilling and coring on going in 1986
Ore(s): Silicified Zone
