Comments on the production information

  • FIGURES FROM COMBINED PRODUCTION OF STAATS & PRATT MINES.

Comments on the reserve resource information

  • ANY FUTURE MINING WOULD REQUIRE A VERTICAL SHAFT OR WINZE TO RECOVER THE ORE

Workings at the site

  • Type of workings Surface/Underground
    Area 0.35HA
    Length 146.3M
    Overall depth 34.14M
    Overall length 121.92M
    Overall width 30.48M

Comments on the workings information

  • SURFACE WORKINGS CONSIST OF SEVERAL OPEN PITS, THE LONGEST IS 150 FT LONG & 20 FT DEEP AND 60 FT WIDE. UNDERGROUND WORKINGS CONSIST OF THE #1 SHAFT WITH 2 SHORT LEVELS, THE #4 INCLINE (210 FT) WITH TWO STOPES (100 X 75 X 20 FT)

Comments on development

  • RECENT STAKING HAS TAKEN PLACE. I WAS UNABLE TO FIND ANY PAPERS. 20 DIAMOND DRILL HOLES TOTALING 4,065 FT WAS DRILLED IN 1941 BY USBM. 11 HOLES CUT ORE BELOW WORKINGS SUGGESTING GOOD POSSIBILITES AT LEAST 250 FT BELOW PRESENT WORKINGS
