Deposit: Outcrops around shaft are mostly granodiorite with some small irregular pods of skarn. A small hill to the north of the shaft is composed of massive white quartz. Several cuts -and trenches to the south and the west of the shaft expose fingers of skarn along an irregular granodiorite-sediment contact-; granodiorite to the north, sediments to the south. Rock on the copper queen dump is mostly pale red-brown skarn (garnet) containing minor amounts of pyrite.
Deposit type: W skarn
Ore(s): Contact Between Limestone & Granodiorite
