The Shumake volcanic dome-hosted epithermal, precious metal deposit, western Mojave Desert, California

Abstract: Several Tertiary volcanic-hosted precious metal deposits occur in the Mojave block in southern California which is bounded on the north by the Garlock fault and on the southwest by the San Andreas fault. The Middle Buttes volcanic dome complex hosts several low-grade gold and silver orebodies and is comprised of Miocene-age coalescing lava domes, flows, vent breccias, and pyroclastic deposits lying unconformably on Cretaceous basement of the Sierra Nevada batholith. The volcanic rocks range in composition from… Show more
