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 SIO2 WITH PYRITE. REFENCE POINT AT CONFLUENCE OF HENRY CR.
