Other/historical names associated with this locality:
Silver Stack; NBMG Sample Site 1263a and B
Structure: Shear Zone, Fractures
Deposit: Small pod of garnet-epidote skarn along contact of lamprophyre dike with marble. Dike occupies contact zone between marble to SW and granite to NE. Green and blue copper minerals occur in soft leached zones in skarn; chalcedonic silica coats fractures in skarn
Deposit type: W skarn
Development: Exploration was probably for copper, but some may have been for tungsten
Ore(s): Igneous Contact With Marble; Shear Zone
