Description

This high-angle normal fault or fault zone strikes N25°E and carries extensive mineralization. The Stewart Fault is more or less radial to Hicks Dome. The direction of throw changes along the length of the fault. Near the southern end, the southeast side is downthrown; northward, the northwest side is down thrown. Bradbury (1959) described deposits of barite found in veins along this fault.
