announces renewal of certain claims - no big deal as far as press releases goes, but it includes geological information some here may find of interest.

(EXTRACT)
Section 16, is located two miles southwest of the town of Tombstone, Cochise County, Arizona. The section comprises many of the historical silver producers in the district including: San Pedro group (Fox claims), State of Maine, Merrimac, Free Coinage, Chance, Bonanza, Santa Ana, Solstice, Annex 40 and 41 (Ace-in-the-Hole), Black Horse, the Joseph group, Mamie, Sailor, Randolph, and Groundhog. The total strike length extension of these structures is estimated to be in excess of 7,000 meters.

Mineralized structures are deep seated fracture/fault zones and are considered to be the mineralizing conduits in the District. They trend north-northeast and dip steeply to the west. Other than the fracture filling ore type, manto-type (lensoid, strata-bound) mineralization has been also recognized in the District. The main host rocks are quartzites, and limestones of the Bisbee Group intruded by the Uncle Sam porphyry complex, also a host rock. In general, the fracture filling mineralized structures are mostly associated with the quartzites and Uncle Sam rock units, while the manto-type mineralized structures are predominantly associated with limestones and limey siltstones.

These ore deposits are of polymetallic character, and are predominantly silver-rich, with significant mineralization of gold, lead, zinc and copper. Manganese oxides which are ore carriers and mineral hosts are observed at the upper sectors of the structures.

Note the term "manto" in that discussion. A manto is often a somewhat flat and thick band of mineralization that can extend for many miles. These can be feeders sourcing from an a mega deposit. Think Hay Mountain!
