Structure: Roberts Mountain Thrust (Overturned)

Alteration: Jasperoid Around Fracture Zones

Deposit: Ore replaces limestone in fractured zone of roberts mtn thrust fault most production occurred between 1870 and 1876, however the mine has been active intermittently ever since. Development consists of about 2000 feet of underground workings ; info.src : 1 pub lit

Deposit type: Polymetallic replacement

Development: Most production was from 1870 to 1876 with intermittent activity since then

Geology: The principle ore bodies are in crushed and fractured limestone adjacent to the thrust jasperoid is found at many places generally replacing-limestone in the fractured zone. A few narrow dikes of altered igneous rocks cut the limestone. (roberts p. 99)

Rock formation(s): Nevada Formation


Ore(s): Fractured, Brecciated, Permeable Zone Along Thrust
