Lithology Comments

Oct 20, 2014 (A Wilson) - The occurrence consists of a silicified quartz stockwork within mafic metavolcanic rocks. The stockwork strikes roughly north and is roughly 50 ft in width. The quartz vein has been folded and the fold plunges to the SE approximately 50 degrees. The vein is hosted in a migmatized diorite containing fragments of mafic metavolcanic rocks. The property description suggests that the quartz vein might actually be a segment of folded iron formation.
