Structure: Deposits Are In Normal Faults In Upper Plate Of Thrust Fault
Alteration: Silification Of Dolomite
Deposit: Workings are in high-angle normal faults in brecciated quartzite and silicified dolomite of upper plate of thrust. On eastern side of mtn, prospects are aligned along a n10w, 65 NE shear. Here a 5-ft wide vein of white barite with some quartz-cemented breccia and minor sulfides is exposed along strike for about 300 ft. 4 shafts along crest of mtn. Are aligned n50e along a vein system of same orientation. Samples from these consisted of highly silicified breccia, crystalline barite, quartz, with crystals of dark grey metallics of pb, mg, sb and ag. Vein materials from the western-most shaft were more gossan-like Fe-stained breccia. 2 ne-trending adits and prospects on w. Side of mine mtn follow a n45e 35 n W shear zone in a section dominated by silicified dolomite with some minor quartzite. 2 prospect pits above the upper adit expose a 3-ft wide vein on the same shear. The lower, 135 ft adit explores the same shear lower in the structure that bears n40e and dips steeply nw. The wallrock is mostly quartzite about 30 ft in from the portal, some low-angle faulting was observed that may be the mine mountain thrust. Sample 1863 was a silicified limestone breccia with barite and quartzite
