Description: South Pass is Wyoming's primary source for gold and iron ore and represents a classical greenstone belt that has been intensely folded and faulted. The author spent 6 years mapping this complex terrain and found more than 100 gold anomalies as well as the tectonic control for ore shoots.  In recent years, this terrain has become a popular place to search for gold deposits.
