Structure: Reg.Struct: Getchell Fault
Alteration: Silication
Deposit: ; model name could also be: sediment-hosted au. This site of a small gold pit has been explored recently for tungsten, As limestone sediments form and embayment within the granodiorite stock. The lime units are correlative with those of riley extension mine which have formed tactites. Drill hole data. However do not support, strong potential for a mineable deposit of tungsten ; info.src : 1 pub lit
Deposit type: W skarn
Geology: Geol.com: limestone beds 30-60 ft thick, parallelling granodiorite contact
Ore(s): Granodiorite/Sedimentary Contact
