Dec 06, 2006 (G Seim) - From report by C. G. Clark in T-4599: At the Faymar Mine site gold is hosted by quartz veins within Archean pillowed basalts. The 2 main veins lie in the proximity of, and parallel to a 20 m wide porphyry dike (possibly a diorite) which intrudes the pillowed basalts about 100 m north of the shaft. The north vein (No. 2) is 0.3 to 3.2 m wide and 300 m long and lies adjacent to theporphyry dike, while the second (No. 1) vein is approximately 20 m south of the No. 2. The veins strike N60E and dip 50 to 60 to the south. Both veins and the adjacent wall rock are mineralized with pyrite, gold and minor chalcopyrite. and the host volcanic rocks exhibit chlorite and sericite alteration.
