| Structure: | A series of thrust sheets that generally dip to the south have affected rocks in the mine area. The Manhattan gold deposit occurs within a NW-trending, NW-plunging faulted antiform., Reilly Fault (ENE), Jumping Jack Fault (NE), Twin Faults (ENE), Big Pine Fault (ENE), and joints associated with the Brugher Fault trend (NE), joints associated with the Little Grey Fault trend (NW), Little Grey Cross Fault (E-W) and joints associated with other unnamed fault trends, all cut through the mine area. |
| Tectonic: | Basin and Range province |
| Alteration processes: | Host rocks in the mine area are not strongly altered hydrothermally. Quartz/host rock contacts are sharply defined. |
