Deposit TITANIUM ILMENITE-MAGNETITE PLACER. BLACK SAND CONCENTRATES CONTAINED 9.2% T102 (OWNERS SAMPLES). NBMG SAMPLES AVERAGED 0.5% TO 8.2% TI02
Deposit THE DEPOSIT IS LOCATED IN NEWARK CANYON, SIMPSON CREEK AND DE PAOLI CANYON IN TWELVE MODERN PLACES CLAIMS. MANY OF THE BLACK SAND DEPOSITS ARE ADJACENT TO THE TITANIFEROUS SANDSTONE AND TUFF LENSES FROM WHICH TITANIFEROUS MAGNETITE AND MAGNETITE HAVE WEATHERED OUT. BLACK SAND CONCENTRATE SAMPLES SUBMITTED BY OWNERS CONTAINED 9.2% TI02. SAMPLES COLLECTED BY NBMG AVERAGED 0.5% TI02. AVERAGE TI02 CONTENT IN EXPOSED TITANIFEROUS MAGNETITE-ENRICHED AREAS WAS 1% TO 2%.
