Other/historical names associated with this locality:
Copper Canyon Mine Lead-Zinc Orebody:Hornfels Orebody
Structure: Thrust Fault At Depth Virgin & Mill Faults, N-S, Dip 65 W; Other Faults. The West Fault, Trends Nw And Forms The Nw Boundary Of The Hornfels Orebody As This Fault Contains Primary Sulfides, It May Have Been The Channel For Mineralizing Fluids Which Formed The Hornfels Orebody
Alteration: Propylitic, Pyritic
Deposit: The lead-zinc orebody on copper canyon mine ground was first discovered by diamond-drilling in 1941. In 1947, copper canyon mining co sank the existing julie shaft to the 700-foot level to mine the lead-zinc orebody. Production of pb-zn ore began in 1948. Fires and market fluctuations resulted in intermittent production until 1957 when the mill was shut down; with lessee activity continuing until 1959 when the u.s. Gov't took it over julie shaft was first put down in 1941 to mine copper-gold ore. ; info.src : 1 pub lit veins, disseminations; intersection of two faults; ore grade decreases away from the intersection
Deposit type: Skarn Zn-Pb
Development: The lead-zinc orebody on copper canyon mine ground was first discovered in 1941 by diamond-drilling, after which the julie shaft was sunk to the 700-ft. Level to mine it. Fires and market fluctuations caused production to be sporadic until 1957, when the mill was shut down, with lessee activity continuing until 1959 when the u.s. Gov't. Took it over.
Geology: Ore grade decreased northward away from intersection of gulch and west faults
Rock formation(s): Battle Formation
Ore(s): Intersection Of Gulch And West Faults
