Alteration: Volcanics Silicified, Kaolinized, & Brecciated Near Orebodies

Deposit: Magnetite and hematite replace brecciated volcanics along shear zones. Located by and held in 1962 by iron king adventures co. Development consists of bulldozer cuts and hand dug test pits ; info.src : 1 pub lit

Deposit type: Volcanic-hosted magnetite

Development: Located by iron king adventures co. In 1962

Geology: Hematite & matnetite As replacements in ondesite, and dacite along near vertical shear zone that strikes n75w. The iron was probably derived from lower cret. Plutonic rock, and transported by hydrothermal fluids. (muffler, 1964). Replacement was complete was complete enough only in a small part of the area, to form ore grade material.

Rock formation(s): Pony Tail Group


Ore(s): Discontinuous Silicified Shear Zones
