Upper San Miguel Mining District
A former Au-Ag-Pb-Cu-Zn mining district located in the western San Juan Mountains, in the Uncompahgre National Forest. Discovered in 1875.
The large majority of the mines are in San Miguel Co. and only a few of the mines are in neighboring Ouray Co. (e.g. Idarado mine).
Mineralization is generally comprised of polymetallic veins (Mineral occurrence model information: Model code: 85; USGS model code: 22c; Deposit model name: Polymetallic veins; Mark3 model number: 46). Controls for ore emplacement include the types of wall rock, vein intersections, character of fault movement, the presence of intersecting dikes and faults, and abrupt changes in strike or dip. Local alteration is propylitic. Volcanic rocks are propylitically altered with epidote, calcite, chlorite, pyrite, sericitic, argillic, and calc-silicate alteration near the veins; quartz-pyrite-sericite, kaolinite, and epidote-rich calc-silicate skarns. Local rocks within the district are comprised of Eocene prevolcanic sedimentary rocks.
Geologic structures:
Local structures include a NW-trending swarm of dikes, fissures, and veins radiating from the Silverton Caldera, forming a belt of fracture zones, ring faults and dikes, cone sheets, and radial dike swarms.
Regional structures include the Paradox Basin of southeastern Utah and Southwestern Colorado (intracratonic basin), trending NW-SE (elongate structure).
