Deposit type: Skarn Cu
Development: 1 partially caved, short n60 W adit adjacent to small blasted area.
Geology: A biotite/hornblende rich intrusive rock has locally marbelized and replaced the limestone country rock. The intrusive rock is mostly fine-grained seems aplitic in places. Some of the exposures show oxidation mafics, but most of rock is unaltered. The intrusive appears to pinch out and is lenticular in shape (sill-like). Skarn can be seen in places below igneous body on n&e sides of workings, mostly coarse crystalline green garnet. The adit on the north exposes a grey xtalline silicified limestone with irregular u/ar replacement pods & fracture fillings of cu mins & oxides at its entrance.
