Syn-hydrothermal Development of Fractures in the Silver Queen Mine Area, Owen Lake,, Central British Columbia* (93l/2)
نویسندگان
چکیده
The site and character of precious and basemetal epithermal deposits is determined by several principal factors which include: structure, stratigraphy, lithology, pressure and temperature. hydrology, chemistry of the mineralizing fluid, and syn-hydrothermal development of permeability or changes in hydraulic gradient (White and Hedenquist, 1990). This study investigates the syn-hydrothermal development of permeability by documenting the attitude and style of fracturing in the immediate area of the Silver Queen mine (Figure 2-5-l). This work represents a portion of a more extensive study investigating the mineralizing processes at the Silver Queen mine (see Cheng er al. and Hood el al., this volume).

Silver Queen mint in central British Columbia, is located approximately 35 kilometres south of Houston and 3 kilometres east of 0wt.n Lake (Figure 2-7-1). Although currently inactive, it was worked briefly in the early 1970s for gold. silver, copper, zinc, lead and cadmium. The deposit is hosted by Cretaceous rocks of the informal Tip Top Hill group (78.322.67 Ma, K-Ar whole rock), with the age...

This report presents three new potassium-argon isotopic age determinations of minerals associated with epithermal alteration from the Toodoggone district, north-central British Columbia. The Toodoggone area has received extensive exploration attention over the past 10 years. In addition to a former goldsilver producer (Baker mine), the district contains a major new gold-silver mine in developme...
