Structure: Bedding Plane Faults; Low Angle Faults

Alteration: Silication, Jasperiod Formation

Deposit: Thin ne-trending veins of dark jasperoid. Sulfide-bearing quartz encountered about 30 ft below surface. Deposit is formed by replacement of dolomite near igneous contact. Some ore occurs along mylonitized bedding planes.

Deposit type: Polymetallic replacement

Development: In oct 1979 the property was being explored; some new Cat work and drilling was in progress (on a small scale). A d-c cat, compressor, and wagon drill were on the property at that time

Rock formation(s): Reed


Ore(s): Bedding, Bedding Plane Faults
