Secs. 19 & 30 T20S R15W. Fluorite vein (with minor pyrite and galena). Additional vein copper-gold ore.
Structure: Deposits Occur Along The Northeast Striking Sprouse-Copeland Fault.
Tectonics: Basin And Range
Commodity: Analytical data from williams, f.e., 1966, p. 68. The ore mineral is coarse- grained, white to pale green and wine colored.
Deposit: Record # d009826 by jerry l. Haug has been incorporated into this record. ; info.src : 1 pub lit; 2 unpub rept deposit consists of veins and fluorspar cemented breccia within a northeast-striking, highly silicified fault zone. Mineralization crops out along strike for a length of about 800 ft., ranges from 2 to 8 ft. Thick, and is exposed in workings to a depth of about 40 ft.. Four unpatented claims in the 1950's.
Rock formation(s): Burro Mountain Granite
Ore(s): Fault-Fracture Structural Control.
