A surface-underground copper, gold, tungsten, antimony, barium prospect
Alteration: Silicification Of Brecciated Rock
Deposit: An older shaft and a pit explore a silicified breccia zone in shale and quartzites iron oxide minerals are common in the zone, and most of the brecciated rock is strongly silicified. Pyrite can be seen on a few freshly broken surfaces. The new headframe is on a 35 degrees inclined shaft. This inclination does not fit with the high-angle mineralized zone observed 20 m to the nw. Therefore, a low-angle structure could be present in the under ground workings. A prospect 250 m to the SW near the wash has a 20 N adit along a N 15 e, 70 n W fault zone.
Deposit type: Polymetallic veins
Development: Rotary drilling in this district, possibly in the general area of this property by the southern pacific co, has encountered a considerable volume of rock anomalous in hg, sb, as, Ag and au.
Rock formation(s): Valmy
Ore(s): Silicified Fault Zone
