Continued faulting and igneous intrusions, coupled with extensive erosion, modified the region's geology and geomorphology until the present time.\r\n\r\nMineralizing events emplaced a wealth of mineral occurrences. High angle normal faults and thrust or reverse faults controlled placement of mineral deposits. Over the last two centuries, gold, silver, copper, lead, tungsten, and many other metals, as well as minerals that are important industrial commodities, have been mined in this area."},{"acf_fc_layout":"image","image":234302,"image_position":"center","orientation":"horizontal","hyperlink":""},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":"For current information on the geology of north central Nevada, read Keith B.
