Geology and geochemistry of Tertiary volcanic host rocks, Sleeper gold-silver deposit, Humboldt County, Nevada /

Rich bonanza veins and bulk mineable gold and silver deposits formed in a local volcanic field during early stages of basin-and-range extension. Geologic and geochemical relations indicate a major role for normal faulting in ore genesis and preservation.
