In the Paiute area, the Harmony Formation is intruded by seven Cretaceous to Tertiary age felsic porphyritic intrusives as high level plugs, stocks, dikes and sills. Thermal metamorphism associated with the intrusions produced hornfels, quartzite and skarn in the Harmony Formation sediments.
A series of en echelon structures and sub-parallel faults define a strong N 10-20° E – striking structural zone through the central part of the property that extends approximately 16,500 feet in length and up to 1,500 feet in width. Secondary northwest and north-striking faults cut the northeast-striking structures. Locally, the structures are occupied by granodiorite porphyry dikes. The structures are typically altered and mineralized.
Hydrothermal alteration associated with the intrusions consists of argillization, silicification, and quartz veining/stockworks that are accompanied by zones of hydrous iron oxides as fracture fillings, disseminations, and occasional gossans. Chlorite + actinolite occur locally within quartz veins. Quartz veining occurs throughout the project area and increases in intensity within the alteration zones.
