Alteration: Andesite Is Silicified And Propylitized
Tectonics: Cascade Volcanic Arc
Deposit: Location map available, moen (1977). ; info.src : 1 pub lit fracture zones average 3 ft thick but may be 10 ft thick locally. Several of the fractures have been mineralized. Main mineralized fracture zone is on southwest bank of gold run creek roughly parallel to creek. Parts of fracture zone are silicified. Ore minerals are disseminated within vein and may be spotty and sparse
Deposit type: Polymetallic veins
Rock formation(s): Silver Star Pluton
