StructureNo Structural Control Of The Ore Shoots Is Evident. In More Recent Workings, Moderately Inclined Pipes With Lead-Zinc Ore Seem To Be Controlled By The Intersections Of Faults And Occur Both In Tactites And Granodiorite. On The West Side Of The Stock, Pyrrhotite Is Abundant, And A Little Molybdenite Occurs In Fractures In The Granodiorite.
