I have studied geology, and visited the park a couple of times, including climbing Wheeler Peak. I found this presentation quite helpful, and I learned a few things. Thank you.

The mass of limestone or dolomite that once held the gold hydrothermal deposits of Osceola has long since eroded, resulting in the past one hundred years of periodic mining activity being almost totally placer mining. The few lode mines quickly played out. Any comment on that original hydrothermal deposition?
