Comments
Comment (Geology): BEDROCK IS COMPLEXLY FAULTED PRE-ORD. METASEDIMENTARY AND MAFIC VOLCANIC OR INTRUSIVE ROCKS AND YOUNGER PALEOZOIC CARBONATES. QUARTZ VEINS THAT CARRY PYRITE AND/OR COPPER SULFIDES ARE COMMON. PLACER CONCENTRATES CONTAIN MAGNETITE, PYRITE, GALENA, SILVER RICH SULFIDE, CASSITERITE, AND GOLD CEMENTED FRACTURED QUARTZ. MOST PLACERS ARE SPATIALLY CORRELATED WITH ALTERED HIGH ANGLE OR THRUST FAULT ZONES WHICH CONTAIN CRUSHED QTZ VEINLETS OR FINE SILICA W/PYRITE
