Structure: An East-West Trending Shear Zone.

Alteration: Oxidation Of Sulfides; Mild Sericitization Of Wallrock, Propylitic Outward.

Deposit: Ore is fracture fillings 1 in to several ft wide. High-grade ores occur in vertical shoots

Geology: The vein is extensively segmented by minor north to northwest striking normal faults. The Mt Airy vein may be a faulted segment of the Magnolia vein. N to NW-striking normal faults segment veins with some right lateral displacement.
