| conc_proc: | First Generation Metal Introduction May Have Been During The Development Of The Nearby Caraway-Back Creek Mountain Felsic Volcanic Center In Epithermal-Hot Spring Hydrothermal Centers. Tectonic Disruption Of Early Metal Deposits And/Or Renewed Hydrothermal Activity During Metamorphism May Have Played A Minor Role In Forming The Present Deposit. |
| ore_ctrl: | Disrupted, Pre-Tectonic Quartz Veins And Disseminated Sulfide Accumulations. Some Redistribution Or Introduction Of Metals During Metamorphism May Have Occurred. |
