Structure: Fault Zone
Alteration: Pyrite Alters To Carphosiderite , Silicification, Oxidation , Silicification, Oxidation
Commodity: Other ore minerals not given in the literature
Deposit: Pods of pyrite-uraninite ore occur in tabular jasperoid zones along gently dipping faults which contain 1-4 ft thick silicified gouge zones. Mineralization appears to have been controlled by an intrusive breccia zone or pipe which was later cut by many minor faults striking N 35-55w. The jasperoid body consists of fragments of dolomite and volcanics which are completely silicified. Open spaces in the breccia are common. Rocks from the upper levels of the mine are completely oxidized. On the lowest mine level, much pyrite is disseminated in dark grey to black highly silicified breccia. The silicified breccia zone has been intruded by many n70e-striking 15-20w-dipping altered rhyolite dikes. Uranium mineralization appears to be confined to the silicified breccia between the dikes. Yello W secondary uranium oxides occur near the surface. Pyrite reportedly alters to carphosiderite.
Deposit type: Volcanogenic U
Geology: Pods of pyrite-uraninite ore occur in tabular jasperoid zones along flatly dipping faults which contain silicified gouge 1-4 feet thick. Mineralization controlled by an intrusive breccia zone or pipe which was later cut by many minor N 35-55 W faults.
