Structure: Faults And Shear Zones Faults And Shear Zones
Tectonics: Cerrillos Uplift
Deposit: The vein is a narrow zone of sheared and hydrothermally altered monzonite containing thin tabular shoots and stringers of ore. The vein follows a slightly sinuous course; throughout most of its extent it strikes N 10-20 e, but on the second level, 220 feet north of the shaft, it bends more to the northeast. This curve coincides with the north end of the richest ore shoot mined. The dips are steep to the west, with reversal of dip indicated locally. The ore shoots are elongate along the strike.
