Home Mine
A mercury mine near the junction of Taneum and Frosty creeks.
Structure: Sheared Rock
Tectonics: Cascade Volcanic Arc
Deposit: Ore is in shear zones near contact of sedimentary and metamorphic rocks mrds record m025899 has been merged with this record and deleted
Deposit type: Silica-carbonate Hg
Geology: Mineralization Probably Took Place Following Deformation Of Metamorphic Rocks And Deposition Of The Overlying Eocene Rocks Ore Control: Cinnabar Occurs In Faults And Fracture Zones Near The Contact Between Carbonaceous Phyllite And Highly Altered Calcareous Sedimentary Rocks (Huntting, 1056, P. 264). MINERALIZATION OCCURES SCATTERED THROUGH OLDER (PRE-JURASSIC) PHYLLITE AND CALCAREOUS SANDSTONE OF THE MANASTASH FORMATION (TABOR AND OTHERS, 1982, GEOL. MAP, P. 10). At The Silver Tip, The Shear Zone Is About 12 Ft Wide At The Contact Between The Phyllite And Sandstone; Mineralization Consists Of Small Specks And Thin Seams Of Cinnabar (Huntting, 1956, p. 264).
Rock formation(s): Easton Schist;Manastash Formation
Ore(s): Shear Zone?
