Geology
AlterationExcept for sporadic silver-sulfosalts, sulfide minerals are rare in the Too Much Gold trenches due to intense supergene and possible hypogene oxidation. Small amounts of oxidized argentiferous tetrahedrite and jamesonite-boulangerite are present where elevated silver grades occur. Oxidation of pyrite, arsenopyrite and lead-silver-antimony sulfosalt minerals results in intense red hematite, limonite, kermesite, apple-green scorodite, and white to pale-yellow stibiconite-cervantite (Freeman, 1991).
