Geological Summary
The Silver Queen Mine is in a sequence of Late Mesozoic-Early Tertiary volcanic flows and pyroclastics cut by a sill-like body of microdiorite. Sulphide mineralization occurs in a series of subparallel fractures and shear zones that are surrounded by argillic to advanced argillic alteration envelopes with abundant disseminated pyrite.
