Other/historical names associated with this locality:
Jumbo Extension Mining Company Ground
Geology: Flow banded rhyolite intruded tuffs and tuffaceous shales, the rhyolite, tuff and shale are locally brecciated, silicified and traversed by a stockwork of 1-2 mm wide quartz veinlets which contain pyrite and minor Au.
Rock formation(s): Siebert
Alteration: Silicification, Alunitization
Commodity: Unusually high ratio of Ag to Au in these ores
Deposit: Lode-like ledge, probably the "South Vein" of the Daisy mine. Ore came from small stopes above the 100-ft level.
Rock formation(s): Milltown Andesite
Ore(s): Fissured Zone
