Posssible extension of mineral belts, northern part of Coeur d'Alene district, Idaho
Garland Bayard Gott, Joseph Moses Botbol
1974, Open-File Report 74-67
The ore deposits in the northern part of the Coeur d'Alene district are located within rocks of the Belt Supergroup that have been intruded by Cretaceous quartz monzonites. Lead-zinc-silver replacement veins constitute most of the deposits. The geometry of the district has been modified by post-ore faulting along the Osburn,...
