Nov 21, 2014 (A Wilson) - The Dixie property is comprised of south-younging amphibolitized mafic flows, andesitic to dacitic flows and pyroclastics, and an upper sequence of chemical metasediments comprising marbles, iron formation and chert. The metasediments appear to be overlain to the south by a later cycle of mafic to felsic metavolcanics. Mineralized horizons occurred with highly altered intermediate metavolcanics interbedded with chemical metasediments including iron formation and marble which have been intruded by synvolcanic to younger gabbro, diorite to granodiorite.
