Geologic descriptionThis deposit at this prospect consists of randomly oriented, pyrite-, pyrrhotite-, and bornite-bearing shear zones up to 7 feet wide, in andesitic metavolcanic rocks (Kurtak and others, 1992). The shear zones are exposed for about 50 feet. Samples of iron-stained rock collected by the U.S. Bureau of Mines contain up to 104 parts per million copper, 25 parts per billion gold, and 80 parts per million tungsten (Kurtak and others, 1992). | |
