Abstract

Proposed research drilling in the Creede mining district will constrain relations between epithermal veins and the deeper thermal, fluid flow, and volcanic structural environment. Major targets include a deep inferred heat source in the form of a concealed intrusion and possibly associated stacked porphyry‐type mineralization; thermal, chemical, and hydrologic evolution of the fossil hydrothermal system in comparison with active geothermal environments; and temporal, structural, and petrologic relations between the mineralization and the hosting silicic caldera cluster.
