Structure: Northeasterly "Pinson Trend". Deposit Is In The Overturned (West) Limb Of A N30e-Striking Anticline. In Addition To The N30e Ore-Bearing Fault, There Are Several Sets Of Joints, The Most Prominent Of Which Strikes N34e And Dips 13 Nw.
Alteration: Decalcification And Bleaching Is The Most Prevalent In The Ore Zone. This Alteration Extends For Short Distances Into The Barren Wall Rocks. Within This Zone Of Decalcification There Are Localized Areas Of Jasperoidal Silicification And Kaolinization. Limonitic Silicification Occurs In The Rare High-Grade Areas Of The Deposit.
Commodity: Ag content is very low.
Deposit: Tabular zone pinches out along strike to the north and south.
Deposit type: Carbonate-hosted Au-Ag
Development: Ore-grade gold found in fractures in rock on hill to the east of the deposit. Follow-up mapping and drilling led to the discovery of the felix canyon deposit beneath shallo W alluvium and soils. ; econ.com: 75% run-of-mine heap leach recoveries.
Rock formation(s): Felsic Dikes
Comus Formation
Ore(s): Fault Zone At The Contact Between Shales And Underlying Carbonates. Faulting Is Parallel To Bedding.
