Book excerpt: Excerpt from Geology of Lode Gold Districts in the Klamath Mountains, California and Oregon All rock types of the Klamath Mountains are hosts for the gold lodes. Meta volcanic rocks are the most common host, possibly because they are the most abundant rock in the Klamath Mountains. Some of the richest deposits were found in argillaceous sedimentary rock. In general, granitic rocks do not con tain gold ore, although a few deposits near the borders of plutons are known. Rare gold-quartz veins crop out near and in serpentine.
