According to Koschmann & Bergendahl, "At the Callahan mine, the ore deposits are in narrow veins in andesitic extrusive rocks of Late Cretaceous age. The veins, which are as much as 6 feet thick, consist of pyritic andesite and quartz with sparse pyrite, galena, sphalerite, chalcopyrite, and specks of gold and tetrahedrite [see p.154]."
