Alteration: Silicification, Pyritization, Bleaching
Deposit: E- W to ne-trending fault zones in gabbro. Silicified lenses along fault, up to 1m wide. Gabbro is brecciated, silicified, pyritized and bleached along fault lenses contain pyrite, jamesonite, and arsenopyrite, with jamesonite largely altered to bindheimite. Relict pods of sulfide are surrounded by oxides. Most of the ore mined here must have been oxide. Discovery year: about wwi
Deposit type: Polymetallic veins
Development: No activity at time of examination in 1984.
Ore(s): E-W To Ne-Trending Fault Zones
