Economic information

Controls for ore emplacement

  • Quartz Veins

Comments on the geologic information

  • THE PITS WERE OPENED IN QUARTZ VEINS WHICH CUT GREENISH-GRAY MASSIVE FELSIC TUFF. THERE IS LITTLE METALLIZATION NOTICEABLE OTHER THAN WEATHERED PYRITE, WHICH IS NOT ABUNDANT.

Economic information about the deposit and operations

Development status Prospect
Commodity type Metallic
Significant No
Discovery year 1895

Mining district

District name Carolina Slate Belt

Comments on the workings information

  • THREE HOLES, TWO APPROXIMATELY 10 FT. IN DIAMETER AND 3 FT DEEP AND ONE SMALLER PIT ARE LOCATED ON THE PROPERTY OF MR. M. W. SCOTT. TWO SHAFTS ON THE PROPERTY WERE 30 FT. DEEP AND 35 FT. DEEP. THERE WAS APPARENTLY LITTLE ACTIVITY HERE AS THE DUMPS ARE SMALL. THE ALIGNMENT OF THE PITS IS IN A NORTH - SOUTH DIRECTION.

Comments on development

  • THE EUDY PROSPECT WAS WORKED BETWEEN 1895 AND 1905 AND AGAIN IN 1932.
