The gold ore is in Precambrian high-angle veins and in flat veins of a younger age (Lindgren, 1926, p.156-159). The Precambrian veins contain coarse glassy quartz and small amounts of chalcopyrite, pyrite, galena, sphalerite, and native gold. Aggregates of minute prisms of blue, brown, or colorless tourmaline are associated with the sulfides.
