Ore controlAlteration And Mineralization Are Controlled By An E-W Striking, Shallowly North Dipping Normal Fault Which Juxtaposes Hanging Wall Bonanza King Dolomite And Footwall Carrara Formation. Where High Angle Faults Cut The Hanging Wall Dolomite, Dedolomitization Has Occurred And Weak Au Values Are Present. Locally Weak Fluorite Mineralization Is Also Encountered Along These Steep Structures.
