Fault exploration target northwest of the Geib pit
Fault exploration target approximately 1.5 km northwest of the Geib pit, looking southeast. A northwest trending fault zone passes through the right of the photo, marked by a series of lineaments and disappearance of the resistant rhyolite to the right. The rhyolite here is intensely silicified in the outcrops above, and in the canyon below is affected by intense opaline silica, forming a large silicified zone that may lie above an upflow zone along the fault.
