Ore controlOre Localized On A North-Striking, High Angle Fault Developed Along A Competency Contrast Between Massive Devonian Bootstrap Carbonates And Platform-Slope Talus Debris Within The Bootstrap Limestone. West-Dipping, Late Cretaceous To Tertiary Dikes Intruded Along The Fault. Later Tectonism Accentuated Initial Structural Breaks, Enhancing Permeability And Porosity.

StructureRoberts Mountain Thrust Fault, Steep North Trending Faults Intruded By Dikes.
AlterationSericitization, Silicification, Argillization. Dikes Are Sericitized. Within Carbonate Sediments, Cherty Replacement Silicification Along Faults And Joints Diminishes Laterally In Intensity And Grades Into Argillic Alteration. Argillized Zones Grade Into Fresh Country Rock.
