Deposit: Mine area is underlain by granodiorite cut by several thin quartz veins and pegmatite dikes. Scheelite occurs in small pods and ore shoots in the quartz veins that range from a few inches to about 5 feet in width. Developed by an adit 31 feet long, several trenches above the adit along the strike of the vein, and 2 small pits. Approximately 8.5 tons of hand-sorted ore was shipped to the toy mill containing 1.4% wo3z. ; info.src : 1 pub lit; 2 unpub rept
Deposit type: W skarn
Geology: The granite is cut by a fissure quartz vein. Scheelite occurs at various places along the vein in small localized pods.
