This report is one of a series of reports describing the effects of weathering on the long-term slope stability of the Questa rock piles. Descriptions of samples need to be consistent within this study as well as be consistent with other work being conducted by Chevron Mining, Inc. Thus, the purposes of this lithologic atlas are to:• Familiarize workers with the lithologies that are most likely to appear in the Questa rock piles (i.e. the rocks that were mined from the open pit). • Provide descriptions and photographs of these lithologies.• Utilize the symbols that Chevron Mining, Inc. has identified as appropriate for naming the lithologies. • Describe the alteration assemblages.• Characterize the geochemistry of these altered lithologies. This report includes descriptions and photographs of hand samples and thin sections of the different lithologies and alteration assemblages. Lithologies examined include andesite, quartz latite, rhyolite tuff (Amalia Tuff), aplite, granitic porphyry, miscellaneous dike, flows, volcaniclastic and tuffaceous rocks. Seven general types of hydrothermal alteration assemblages are found in the Red River-Rio Hondo and Questa districts and are found in the rock piles:• Early and late propylitic (consisting of chlorite, calcite, pyrite, albite, epidote)• Argillic and advanced argillic (consisting of chlorite, smectite, kaolinite, calcite, epidote, quartz, pyrite, clay minerals) • Potassic (consisting of replacement of primary minerals by K-feldspar and potassium-bearing micas, illite, and sericite along with fluorite, quartz, and molybdenite) • Quartz-sericite-pyrite (QSP), also is called phyllic, sericitic and silicic • Magnetite veining • Silicicfication (replacement by fine-grained quartz)• Post-mineral carbonate-fluorite (locally with anhydrite) Summary of current knowledge of composition of the overburden that went in the Questa rock piles:• Chemically, the volcanic rocks in the Questa-Red River area are calc-alkaline, metaluminous to peraluminous igneous rocks. • The rhyolite (Amalia Tuff) has more quartz and little to no epidote and chlorite compared to the andesite. • The rhyolite (Amalia Tuff) typically has higher SiO
