| Deposit | THE DEPOSIT IS IN HIGHLY FRACTURED ROCKS OF THE GRASS VALLEY FM. THE VEINS ARE IRREGULAR, BOTH IN WIDTH AND DIP. NUMEROUS SPLITS AND CROSS FAULTS COMPLICATE THEM. STIBNITE OCCURS AS PODS TO 30 INCHES ACROSS, DISSEMINATED GRAINS, AND INDIVIDUAL CRYSTALS IN QUARTZ VEINS IN SLATE. THE STIBNITE COMMONLY IS EQUIGRANULAR AND BLADED. VEIN IS OFFSET IN THE NW SEGMENT BY A SW TRENDING FAULT. TWO VEINS INTERSECT, ONE N45W, 45SW, THE OTHER N, 30W. VEIN SIZE DECREASES WITH DEPTH.; MODEL NAME COULD ALSO BE: SIMPLE SB. |
| Deposit | DISCOVERED IN 1864 BY GEORGE SENN, ERECTED SMALL CRUCIBLE FURNACE BUT WAS UNSUCCESSFUL. 2500 TONS OF SB ORE MINED DURING W.W.I AND SMALL AMOUNT PRODUCED IN 1939. IN 1940 5 TONS OF ORE WITH 56% SB WERE PRODUCED. IN 1941 MINE WAS OPTIONED TO ANTIMONY PRODUCERS CO. AND TWO SMALL ORE SHIPMENTS MADE THAT YEAR. ORE IS DEVELOPED BY 3 ADITS AND NUMEROUS SMALL PITS. MOST OF THE ORE WAS MINED BY STOPING FROM TWO ADITS. THE MINE IS IN HIGHLY FRACTURED SEDIMENTARY ROCKS OF THE GRASS VALLEY FORMATION. ; INFO.SRC : 1 PUB LIT |
