Comments on the geologic information

  • Geologic Description = The country rocks in the area of this prospect consist of an assemblage of undivided Silurian or Ordovician metamorphosed bedded and intrusive rocks that are intruded by stocks and dikes of Silurian trondhjemite (Berg, 1973; Berg and others, 1988), the rocks are cut by a complex system of high-angle faults that mainly strike NE and NW. Locally, they also are permeated by finely disseminated hydrothermal hematite, giving them (especially the trondhjemite) a pink or red hue commonly mistaken for potassium feldspar. . According to U.S. Bureau of Mines claim records (1977), this prospect, which appears to be in complexly faulted and hydrothermally altered trondhjemite and/or metamorphic rocks, was staked for copper. No other information about it has been made public.
