Other/historical names associated with this locality:
NBMG Sample Site 2335; Azureite Copper Mine Sign On Old Building
Structure: Thrust Fault
Deposit: Azurite and malachite occur As fracture coatings with limonite in sheared and brecciated dark quartzite and argillite. Numerous 1-6 cm (and wider) white bull quartz veins cut the valmy but often appear unrelated to the occurrence of oxide copper minerals. Several shear zones appear to have been prospected. They generally trend e- W to NE and dip 35-40 n. Johnson shows a thrust fault near this locality entirely within the valmy. No sulfide minerals were seen. Quartz veining is present along at least one shear zone.
Development: No activity in 1984
Rock formation(s): Valmy
Ore(s): Shear Zones
