Soledad Mountain

USA / California / Mojave /
 mountain, mining
The Soledad Mountain deposit is hosted in a volcanic sequence of rhyolite porphyries, quartz latites and bedded pyroclastics that occur on a large dome-shaped feature, called Soledad Mountain, along the margins of a collapsed caldera. High-grade precious metal mineralization is associated with steeply dipping epithermal fissure veins occupying faults and fracture zones that cross cut the rock units and generally trend in a northwest direction. The veins are contained within siliceous envelopes of lower grade material that forms the bulk of the mineral resource.
