Structure: Area structurally complex, with dominantly n W to W - n W trending high angle faults, down to the north. In the western part of the district, faults appear anti-thetic, having their upthrown sides to the south
Alteration: Advanced argillic type with veins of alunite and qtz., limonite, and kaolinite replacing wall rock minerals predominates in the vicinity of golden pen and lone star claims. At the nev. Rand area, alteration is sericitic or phyllic in nature. Intermediate lavas from both areas sho W propylitic alteration.
Ores(s): Proximal to contact between volcanics or limestone and intrusive bodies; shear zone
