INTRODUCTION Although many geologic environments have been studied and explored for gold deposits in the last few decades, the classic Mother Lode environment in California was largely ignored until the 1980's. For a variety of reasons, including underground mining economics, metallurgical problems with ore treatment, lack of accessible land, and probably other factors, little attention was given to the gold resource potential of the Mother Lode region, and, consequently, modern scientific studies were not undertaken in this region. In recent years, however, the possibility of using surface mining methods, the adoption of newer techniques for recovering gold from the complex ores in the Mother Lode region, and other considerations have renewed interest in this environment. Detailed descriptions that included information on the mineralogy and chemistry of various Mother Lode deposits were published many years ago when the underground mines of the region were still active and accessible (Knopf, 1929; Lindgren, 1896). The last of the underground mines was closed in 1942 and, except in the extreme northern part of the region, none has operated in recent years. As a result, little was written about the geological aspects of Mother Lode deposits between the 1940's and the 1980's, when exploration and mining in the region was renewed. Chemical and mineralogical data have been published for many gold deposits, some of which are probably Mother Lode analogues (see, for example, Boyle, 1979, and references therein). In spite of the renewed interest in the California deposits, however, only a few articles describing the abundances and particularly the distributions of suites of elements and minerals associated with Mother Lode-type deposits occurring in the United States have been published (see, for example, Chaffee and Hill, 1987; Chaffee and Kuhl, 1991; Coveney, 1981; Goldfarb, 1989; King, 1986; Kuhl and Garmoe, 1989; Landefeld and Silberman, 1987; Lechner and Kuhl, 1990; Nash, 1988; Silberman and Danielson, 1991). To provide new information regarding the geochemistry of a typical Mother Lode-type deposit, we conducted a study in the Hodson mining district, which is in Calaveras County, California, in the westernmost foothills of the Sierra Nevada, several kilometers northwest of the settlement of Copperopolis and about 17 km west of the town of Angels Camp (Fig. 1). This district is in the West Gold Belt, which lies about 12 to 16 km west of, and generally parallel to, the better known Mother Lode Gold Belt in central California. The Hodson district produced more than $6 million worth of gold between the 1880's and 1940's from underground mines (Clark, 1970). The two principal mines were the Royal, the largest and most productive mine in the West Belt, and the Mountain King (Clark and Lydon, 1962). Mining from three open pits began in 1989 (Lechner and Kuhl, 1990) and continued until 1994.

This report briefly describes (1) the regional geologic setting and general geology of the Hodson mining district and (2) the geology for three cross sections, each transecting a gold deposit in the district. In addition, the report provides details on the collection and analysis of 300 samples of drill core or cuttings, a tabulation of chemical and mineralogical data for 44 elements and 10 minerals, summary statistical data for these variables, and plots of anomalies for 42 chemical and 10 mineral variables on the three geologic cross sections. This report consists of two parts. Part A is this printed report. Part B is an electronic version on a diskette that includes this text in ASCII format as well as the data in Appendices 1 and 2 in a binary format. REGIONAL GEOLOGIC SETTING The Hodson district is located in the West Gold Belt, a part of the Foothills Metamorphic Belt that lies along the west side of the central Sierra Nevada in California (Fig. 1). This belt is thought to comprise a Mesozoic submarine volcanic arc and adjacent back arc basin that were accreted onto the western margin of North America (Landefeld, 1990). Rocks present in the areas of the main Mother Lode Gold Belt (Melones Fault Zone) and the West Gold Belt include (1) mafic and ultramafic lava flows and breccias and (2) sedimentary sequences that were largely derived from these rocks and vary in grain size from conglomerates to argillites. All of these rocks were regionally metamorphosed to greenschist facies prior to the time of gold mineralization (Landefeld, 1990; Landefeld and Silberman, 1987). The only significant difference between the rocks in the Mother Lode Belt and the West Belt is in the composition of the metamorphosed volcaniclastic units. Those in the West Belt are more felsic to intermediate in composition, suggesting that these rocks were probably derived from the mature, calc-alkaline parts of the same volcanic arc that is the source of most of the rocks found in the rest of the Foothills Metamorphic Belt (Landefeld and Snow, 1990). Major faulting in Nevadan time created the Melones and Bear Mountain Fault Zones. Splays from the latter, especially the Hodson fault, structurally control the gold mineralization in the Hodson district. The gold deposits, described below, exhibit the same gross characteristics as those of the Melones Fault Zone at this latitude. GEOLOGY OF THE HODSON DISTRICT Figure 2 shows the geology of the Hodson area as illustrated by Lechner and Kuhl (1990), as well as the locations of three cross sections along which samples of drill cuttings or core were collected for this study. Two major rock units are present. The first is the Salt Spring Slate (Js on Fig. 2), which is of Late Jurassic age (Clark, 1964). In the study area this unit is predominantly a sequence of thin-bedded carbonaceous shales that have been metamorphosed to slates and phyllites.

Beds of pebble conglomerate ar.e found locally. In the southern part of the study area, a sequence of thinly interbedded tuffaceous wackes and carbonaceous phyllites has been mapped locally as a part of this unit. This latter sequence has been informally named the tuffaceous member of the Salt Spring Slate (Jst on Fig. 2) (Kuhl and Garmoe, 1989). The other major unit in the study area is the Copper Hill Volcanics (Jch on Fig. 2), which is also of Late Jurassic age (Clark, 1964). This unit consists of volcanic flows, flow breccias, and tuffs that range in composition from andesitic basalt to basalt and have been metamorphosed to produce massive to schistose sequences (Lechner and Kuhl, 1990). Regional metamorphism to greenschist facies has produced abundant chlorite that gives a green color (and thus the term "greenstone") to this unit. Other small units crop out locally (Fig. 2). These consist of ultramafic rocks that include serpentinite (Jsp) and peridotite (Jp) of probable Late Jurassic age (Clark, 1964) and a small body of diorite (KJd), which by inference with other similar bodies is of probable Late Jurassic to Middle Cretaceous age (Clark, 1964). Major NNW- to NW-trending, northeast-dipping, low-angle faults trend parallel to the regional strike of the rock units. The Hodson fault and its splays (Fig. 2), a part of the major Bear Mountain Fault Zone (Clark, 1964), are the major structural controls of gold ore in the district. Common hydrothermal alteration minerals include quartz, pyrite, sericite, ankerite, and calcite, which are widespread, and albite and mariposite, which occur locally (Kuhl and Garmoe, 1989; Lechner and Kuhl, 1990). Gold occurs locally in the free state but mainly as inclusions or microveinlets in pyrite. Minor amounts of other sulfide minerals (principally chalcopyrite, arsenopyrite, sphalerite, galena, and tetrahedrite) have been identified in the district (Kuhl and Garmoe, 1989; Lechner and Kuhl, 1990). GEOLOGY AND ALTERATION IN THE VICINITIES OF THE CROSS SECTIONS Three sections through the district each crossing one of the three ore deposits at a roughly perpendicular orientation to the Hodson fault were selected for study. These sections are located on Fig. 2. Each is viewed facing northwest. The locations of the drill holes that were sampled for each section are shown for reference (Figs. 3 to 5). All holes were collared within 20 m of the plane of the respective sections. The areas of significant weathering shown on each section were defined on the basis of the amount of visible secondary iron oxides in the samples collected for analysis. These areas are labelled as the "oxide zone" on each section. The geologic descriptions that follow are largely those of Kuhl and Garmoe (1989) and Lechner and Kuhl (1990), supplemented by our own observations. The northernmost of the three deposits is in the North Pit and is shown on Section A-A 1 (Fig. 3). The geology of the overall area of the pit is structurally complex (Lechner and

Kuhl, 1990) and has been simplified for the cross section. In general, in the area of the section, the Hodson fault separates the Copper Hill Volcanics unit in the hanging wall from the Salt Spring Slate unit in the footwall. Other faults farther east form contacts on either side of a block of Salt Spring Slate. The Copper Hill Volcanics is the dominant ore host in this area. Hydrothermal alteration, which is more extensive here in the Copper Hill Volcanics, has visibly bleached this unit as a result of the destruction of chlorite and other mafic minerals and has also locally bleached the Salt Spring Slate as a result of the leaching of carbon and the destruction of mafic minerals. Oxidation related to weathering extends as deep as 24 m (80 ft) in the vicinity of the section (Fig. 3). Common alteration minerals identified either by visual inspection or X-ray diffraction analysis include quartz, white mica, plagioclase feldspar, kaolinite, pyrite, calcite, other mixed-element carbon- ates (all here called ankerite), magnesite, talc or pyrophyllite, smectites, and locally, mariposite (Cr-rich white mica). The middle deposit is in the Skyrocket Pit and is shown on Section B-B 1 (Fig. 4). In this area, the Hodson fault also sepa- rates the overlying Copper Hill Volcanics from the Salt Spring Slate. However, here the Salt Spring Slate is the dominant ore host. Alteration and ore minerals are similar to those described for these same two units in the North Pit area. Oxidation related to weathering is relatively shallow here and occurs to depths of only about 8 m (27 ft) in the vicinity of the section (Fig. 4). The southernmost deposit, in the Gold Knoll Pit, is shown on Section C-C' (Fig. 5). In the area of the section, the Hodson fault separates the hanging wall block containing the Copper Hill Volcanics (Jch) and the tuffaceous member of the Salt Spring Slate (Jst) from the footwall block containing the Salt Spring Slate (Js). The dominant ore host-rocks in the Gold Knoll Pit area are the Copper Hill Volcanics and the tuffaceous member of the Salt Spring Slate. Alteration assemblages in the Copper Hill Volcanics and the Salt Spring Slate are similar to those described for the other two areas. Alteration in the tuffaceous member is similar to that of the rest of the Salt Spring Slate. The effects of weathering extend to depths of as much as 22 m (73 ft) in the vicinity of the section (Fig. 5). COLLECTION AND PREPARATION OF SAMPLES Three hundred samples of core or cuttings from 17 drill holes were collected and analyzed for this study. The samples were collected from approximately 1.5- to 3-m (5- to 10-ft) runs along the length of each hole. Each sample was composited from material most closely representing typical rock lithology, alteration, and mineralization in a given run. In some cases no sample was collected for a desired interval because no suitable material was available. The samples were crushed, if necessary, in a jaw crusher with steel plates. All samples were ground in a vertical pulverizer

with ceramic plates to produce material passing a 0.15-mm (100- mesh) sieve. The samples were'submitted in random sequence to the USGS analytical laboratories in Denver. ANALYSIS OF SAMPLES The samples were analyzed for 44 variables. They were analyzed for 31 elements (Al, As, Ba, Be, Ca, Ce, Co, Cr, Cu, Eu, Fe, Ga, K, La, Li, Mg, Mn, Na, Nb, Nd, Ni, P, Pb, Sc, Sr, Th, Ti, V, Y, Yb, and Zn) by a total digestion, inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission specrometry (ICP-AES) method (Briggs, 1990), for 5 elements (Ag, Bi, Cd, Mo, and Sb) by a partial- digestion ICP method (Motooka, 1990), for Au, Te, and Tl by atomic-absorption spectrophotometry (O'Leary and Chao, 1990), for Hg and W by atomic-absorption spectrophotometry (O'Leary and others, 1990; O'Leary and Welsch, 1990), for total sulfur by a combustion technique (Curry, 1990), and for SiO2 by X-ray fluorescence (Taggart and others, 1990). In addition, the weight loss on ignition at 925°C (LOI) was determined by a gravimetric method (Taggart and others, 1990). This loss largely reflects the loss of CO2 resulting from the destruction of carbonate minerals and, to a much lesser extent, the loss of H2O and other relatively volatile species. Unless otherwise stated for a given standard analytical procedure, the analysts included a set with one sample duplicate, one analysis method blank, and two reference samples in each job of 40 or less samples. The arithmetic mean and standard deviation of reference materials and duplicate samples were calculated in order to estimate accuracy and precision for each analytical method. A given analytical method was generally considered sufficiently accurate if the absolute value of the laboratory mean minus the best defined reported value was less than or equal to four times the estimated within-laboratory standard deviation. Generally, for the major elements (those commonly occurring in concentrations greater than 1 percent), a relative standard deviation (RSD) less than 1 to 2 percent was considered adequate for precision. For minor elements (those commonly occurring in concentrations of 0.1 to 1.0 percent) a RSD less than 5 percent was considered adequate, and for trace elements (concentrations generally less than 0.1 percent), a RSD of less than 15 percent was considered adequate. The quality assurance manual for the USGS Branch of Geochemistry (Arbogast, 1990) contains estimates of typical performance capabilities for different sample matrices and analyte concentrations, as well as specific data concerning the accuracy and precision of the techniques described above. The analytical results are tabulated in appendix 1. Data on these analyses are summarized by lithologies in tables 1 to 3. Two elements (Bi and Eu) were not found in many samples in concentrations above their respective lower limits of determination (0.60 ppm for Bi and 2 ppm for Eu), and thus these elements were not further studied.

Of the 300 samples, 172 were prepared and analyzed for their gross mineralogy by X-ray diffraction. The samples were first ground in an agate mortar to about minus 200 mesh (0.074 mm). Approximately equal volumes of the resulting powders were mounted on glass slides and analyzed by X-ray diffraction using a Philips XRG-3000 generator configured with a copper lamp and nickel filter and run at 40 Kv and 26 Ma. The samples were scanned over a range of 4° to 60° 26 at a speed of 2° 29/min, and the responses were plotted on diffractograms. The relative abundances of 10 minerals in each sample were estimated on the resulting diffractograms using the d-spacing peak for the best line for which no interference from other mineral phases was present (Table 4) and measuring the height above background for that peak. The resulting data are tabulated in appendix 2 and summarized in table 5. For the configuration used, the lowest concentrations of a given mineral that could be detected was about 1 percent by volume. DETERMINATION OF THRESHOLD VALUES Chemical analyses for all 300 samples were used to determine threshold values; however, analyses for only 279 of the original 300 samples were used to construct the anomalies shown on the accompanying figures. The remaining 21 samples were from two drill holes that were well off the cross sections. As a consequence, the data for these two drill holes have not been plotted on the sections. The rocks included in each of the three lithologic units vary in composition both laterally and vertically; consequently, the typical chemistry for each unit is not easily determined. Also, many of the samples collected for this study are rocks that have been chemically and mineralogically altered as a result of burial, regional metamorphism, hydrothermal alteration, and(or) weathering. Thus, a realistic background range for each element cannot be accurately determined. No sampling was done outside of the area of figure 2 because of the difficulty in finding outcrops that were geologically equivalent to those sampled in the drill holes. Background ranges for the two main lithologies (Jch and Js) can be approximated from the data in tables 1 and 2. For elements that were enriched as a result of mineralization (positive geochemical anomalies), the background range for equivalent unaltered rocks is best approximated by the values between the lowest concentration reported and the 25th percentile (tables 1 and 2). For elements that were depleted as a result of mineralization or weathering (negative anomalies), the values between the 75th percentile and the highest concentration reported most closely approximate the background ranges. Most of the tuff member of the Salt Spring Slate (Jst) has been altered so that background ranges for elements in samples collected from this unit are not known.

The threshold values for the chemical data were determined by first studying the dispersion patterns for gold and other closely associated elements, including silver, arsenic, sulfur, antimony, thallium, and tungsten. This initial examination revealed that approximately 50 percent of the samples in the major (Jch and Js) units and 80 percent of the samples in the tuff unit (Jst) were anomalous for these elements as a result of gold mineralization. Threshold values for all other elements represented by positive anomalies were therefore contoured using values for the 50th or 20th percentiles, respectively (tables 1 to 3). Conversely, elements represented by negative anomalies were contoured using values for the 50th or 80th percentiles, respectively. Where geologically warranted, or where the range of reported values for a given element was limited, minor adjustments were made for the threshold value for a few elements. Our evaluation of the plots revealed that slight variations in the threshold value do not materially affect the overall anomaly patterns. All values have been rounded to two or less significant digits for plotting. The threshold values for the mineral anomalies plotted for this report were determined using these same criteria. In several cases, the thresholds were modified slightly because only a limited range of values was present. The threshold values used for contouring each anomaly are shown on each cross section. DISTRIBUTIONS OF ANOMALIES The cross sections that follow (figs. 6-57) illustrate the distributions of anomalies for 42 chemical and 10 mineral variables. There is no unique way to draw the contours for most of the variables. Emphasis has been given to showing the most significant areas of enrichment or depletion (or both) for each variable. Where considered geologically reasonable, the boundaries of anomalies have been extended to geologic contacts or faults. Note that in some cases the anomalies are shown to extend beyond the depths of drilling or into areas where analytical information is inadequate. In such cases a question mark is shown and the extent of these anomalies should be considered speculative. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS We thank P.H. Briggs, P.L. Hageman, R.H. Hill, J.M. Motooka, T.A.

DESCRIPTIONS OF APPENDICES 1 AND 2 Appendix 1 lists the chemical analyses for 44 elements determined in 300 samples of drill core or cuttings from the Hodson district. Following is a brief description of the column headings. Sam. ID For each sample ID, the letters (HD or MK) are for project identification. The first two numbers identify individual drill holes and the last three numbers give the average depth of the sample, in feet, below the collar. Latitude and Longitude The next two columns give, in degrees, minutes and seconds the approximate latitude and longitude for the appropriate cross section on which a given drill hole is located. The hole IDs are labelled on figures 3 to 5. Ag ppm through Zr ppm These columns of analyses list the element symbol, whether the concentrations are in percent or parts per million (ppm), and the analytical method. Within the data set, the values may be qualified with "N", "L", or "H". The meaning of these qualifiers is given on the first page of appendix 1. The letters "icp" below an element name indicate that it was determined by total extraction using inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-AES); "picp" indicates partial-extraction ICP; "aa" indicates atomic absorption analysis; "grav" indicates gravimetric analysis; "comb" indicates a combustion technique; and "xrf" indicates X-ray fluorescence analysis. Details of the analytical methods are given in the Analysis of Samples section of this report. Appendix 2 lists the estimated values for peak heights for 10 minerals in 172 samples of drill core or cuttings, as determined by X-ray diffraction. A "0" for a given mineral indicates that it was looked for but not detected for a given sample. Leaders ( ) for a given sample indicate that it was not analyzed for its mineralogy.
