Oak Spring Area
Structure: Post-Ore Faulting Has "Smeared" Some Scheelite
Alteration: Argillic, Chloritic, Silicic Alteration Of Granodiorite
Deposit: Veins in shears and replacement of limestone along margin of contact with granodiorite. Some veins had box works or open space cockade structures, some were brecciated. In one adit tungsten was concentrated along a fault sample 1827 is from an adit dump, adit trends N 195 ft deep in altered marble. Sample 1928 from mine face of gouge, clay, marble and W mineralization in a highly iron-stained oxidized zone. Sample 1929 from fault zone 150 ft in from portal where anomalous scheelite is concentrated along the fault. Gem-quality chrysocolla came from 3 shallow shafts and prospects along the north half of oak springs wash. Chrysocoalla was in veins along hematite-stained fractures in the lime stones and calc-silicates. The secondary mineralization included malachite, jaspery chrysocolla, quartz, azurite, manganese and calcite.
