Claims Geology
The general geology of this claim group is somewhat different from the rest of the district. Although the exposed rocks are still of the Wallace Formation, here they dip steeply to the northeast 45 degrees to 70 degrees. The veins occupy simple faults instead of the wide shear zones seen in all of the large mines in the district. The strike of these veins crosscut the stratigraphy at 30 degrees to 70 degrees. Because of the distinctive nature of the veins and their orientation to stratigraphy, these veins should be relatively easy to mine by underground methods.
