wow KOH, I lived in spokane, otis orchards, wa and rathdrum idaho, Derrick I live about 25 miles from copper harbor.
There is multiple forms and types of native copper up here, also ag, au, mb, li. ch, pb, fe etc etc.
for the copper it ranges from the basaltic flows to fissure formation and even copper in sedimentary formations of conglomerates and sandstones.. unreal. actually the most tons of copper mined was from the conglomerate formation which is mainly rocks and pebbles compressed then copper is heated and infused into the rock. we find seam, nuggets, sprays of copper. a big thing is float copper, that copper that was removed and ground down to just solid copper and silver. These we find up to about 5000 lbs. I am starting up a new llc company to find the larger float. you have to go east for more of the sulfide type metals. but each mine has such a unique blend of mineralization you have to document where the copper is from. I am more of a kearsarge amyguloydial copper infused agate guy. It is the oldest and rarest agate in the world and only place you can find copper infused agate. It is 1.1 billion years old, almost as old as taker. we buy sell rocks do guide service etc. hope to see some rockhounds up here. I am now also the head mogumbo of the quincy mine rock swap in hanfluff mich aug 4th.I am still searching for that elusive fossilized sardine formation.
