Structure: Nne- And Wnw-Trending High Angle Normal Faults; Surprise Fault.
Alteration: Skarn. See Geology Comments.
Deposit type: Skarn Cu
Geology: Alteration comments: prograde garnet+diopside skarn is partially replaced by a retrograde assemblage of chlorite, quartz, calcite, and minor epidote. Geology comments: a quartz-feldspar porphyry dike in the pit is cut by garnet+pyroxene veinlets. This dike has characteristics of other tertiary dikes in the area, therefore alteration and Au deposition likely are tertiary.
Rock formation(s): Harmony Formation;Battle Formation
Ore(s): Ore Is Associated With Disseminated And Fracture Controlled Oxidized Pyrite In Garnet Skarn Of The Harmony Formation And In Lens-Shaped Calc-Silicate Horizons Of The Battle Formation Adjacent To Mineralized Structures.
