That looks epithermal. With the tectonic activity in the area, it is quite possible that this is part of the same deposit as the GMM. And epithermal; deposits tend to be open at depth.

Interesting. There's a mine that had a good bit of wulfenite in it to the south a half mile. That's the 231 that also has barite IIRC.

EDIT:

Doing some more research on epithermals...if it is an epithermal, it's gotta be a low sulfidation epithermal. No copper, and a lot of arsenopyrite.

Finding calcite veins, flourite for example can suggest low temperatures in the hydrothermal system. I agree it looks hydrothermal.
