Deposit: Tungsten mineralization occurs in disconnected small shoots in or adjacent to well-defined faults. A few tungsten-bearing areas are exposed on the property. Two are in shallow surface cuts along the west vein that vary in width from 4 to 5 feet and 20 to 30 feet in length. In them scheelite occurs finely disseminated in a garnet and epidote gangue. In the main workings, 3 sections are exposed that show varying amounts of scheelite mineralization in and adjacent to the main fault. The areas are from 10-30 feet in length and are controlled by n W trending cross fractures that dip 10-20w. In these areas the limestone has been altered and silicated, with scheelite occurring disseminated and As small crystal bunches.
Deposit type: W skarn
Development: Property comprised of 5 unpatented lode claims known As the crescent, elizabeth, oscar, scheelite nugget, and the last hope.
Geology: Rocks in area are blue and gray limestone interbedded with shale that strike east and dip 75s. These are intruded by granite and small dikes of andesite porphyry. Along north side of claims the intrusive granite strikes n30w. The andesite porphyry occurs As dikes up to 20 feet thick and As small plugs scattered throughout the area.
Rock formation(s): Granitic Rocks
