Locality type:
KΓΆppen climate type:
A former surface and underground Zn-Cu-Au-Pb-Ag mine. Discovered 1900. Produced 1947-1951. Claims also in the SEΒΌ sec. 30, 19, 20 & 17.
Mineralization is a lens-shaped ore body. Ore control was stratigraphy and igneous activity. Alteration was chloritization and pyritization.
Area structures include massive sulfide lenses parallel to foliation and bedding. Foliation in the Precambrian metavolcanic rocks trends N20E to N30E.
