Summary

This U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) data release provides whole rock major, minor, and trace element geochemical data from the fluorine-rich Mount Emmons-Redwell porphyry molybdenum (Climax-type) deposit (Mt. Emmons-Redwell deposit), located approximately 5.6 km (3.5 mi) northwest of Crested Butte, Colorado. The Mt. Emmons-Redwell deposit partly underlies Redwell Basin on the northwest flank of Mount Emmons in the west-central region of the Colorado Mineral Belt. Mineralization of the Mt. Emmons-Redwell deposit occurs at depth as vein, veinlet, stockwork, and fracture-hosted Climax-type mineralization [308 Mt at 0.32% Mo (Galey, 1978; Guarnera and Anderson, 2007)], and is associated with the Mt. Emmons igneous complex. Samples were [...]

Purpose

This data set is part of an effort to characterize the geology, alteration, mineralization, geohydrology, and geophysics of the Redwell Basin, which is partly underlain by the Mt. Emmons-Redwell porphyry Mo deposit. Whole rock geochemical data provide quantitative measurements of elements related to magmatic-hydrothermal alteration and mineralization. These data help provide insights into the magmatic and hydrothermal processes that accompanied porphyry-style mineralization and alteration.
