Deposit: Prospect consists of several adits and one shaft at slightly higher elevation. Jamesonite-quartz vein with sphalerite, pyrite and galena occur in a narrow fissure vein in leucogranite near a contact with the overlying weaver rhyolite. ; info.src : 1 pub lit; 2 unpub rept; 3 field observ jamesonite-quartz vein occurs in a narro W fissure vein in levcogranite near a contact with the overlying weaver rhyolite
Deposit type: Low-sulfide Au-quartz vein
Development: Apparently inactive in 1984
Geology: A copper-bearing vein occurs at the shaft above the jamesonite-quartz veins and consists of quartz, slightly tourmaliniferous, chalcopyrite no W oxidized to chalcocite, chrysocolla, & malachite.
