GUID (UUID V4):
9825c404-339a-465d-af7d-1381d2bbc6d4
Structure: Basin And Range Fault Block, Faults, Stock And Dike Intrusions. Stank Fault Strikes N-S For 1.5 Miles. Strata West Side Of Fault Dips East, East Side Of Fault Dips 70 West. Strata Strikes N20e. Post-Mineral Faults Also Present.
Alteration: Silicification, Albitization
Deposit type: W skarn
Geology: Orebody appears to be a pendant like mass. Triassic sediments intruded by granodiorite stocks and dikes, producing contact metamorphism (garnet-epidote-wollastonite-tremolite). These were followed by andesite dikes.
Ore(s): Next To Dikes, But Not In Them, Tactite Bodies.
