Geology: Line one of lithology is a rhyolitic tuff containing disseminated au. Line two of lithology is dacite and rhyolite breccia. Line three of lithology is a volcaniclastic cut by ore veins and below disseminated Au. General size of ore body is small. Other types of wall rock alteration are by oxidation and potassic propylitic zones around fractures and faults.
Alteration: Argillic
Deposit: Fault filled with brecciated quartz vein, cement ed with hematitic silica.
Geology: In float traces of tactite, banded phyllite/schist, shale.
Rock formation(s): Wyman
