North of Montezuma
Structure: Flat-Lying Normal Fault
Deposit: The deposit consists of numerous veins slightly arcuate, and offset by cross faults. Veins vary in thickness from less than an inch to over 6 ft. On the upper levels the veins lie in granodiorite; on lower levels they enter hornfels. In the hornfels the veins pinch out.; model name could also be: polymetallic veins. Shipments of ore were made in 1929-30 and 1944. The mine is developed by numerous shafts, adits, trenches, and open pits. These cover numerous veins, slightly arcuate, and offset a few feet in several places by cross faults. Veins vary in thickness from less than an inch to over 6 feet. On upper levels veins lie in granodiorite and enters hornfels in the lower part of the mine and abruptly narrows down and almost pinch out. ; info.src : 1 pub lit
Deposit type: Low-sulfide Au-quartz vein
Geology: Geol.com: horn fels unfavorable for vein formation
