Geologic descriptionThis occurrence consists of several short 4- to 10-inch-thick quartz veins, small quartz-calcite veins, and quartz breccia hosted in argillite. The veins contain disseminated chalcopyrite, malachite, pyrite, and sphalerite. U.S. Bureau of Mines samples contained up to 1.8 ppm gold, 2 ppm silver, 670 ppm copper, 320 ppm lead, and 310 ppm zinc (Clough and Redman, 1989). The general area is underlain by metamorphosed Silurian and Devonian clastic rocks, limestone, and volcanic units; Permian limestone and siltstone; and small plutons of Tertiary and Cretaceous granodiorite (Brew and Ford, 1985). | |
