Deposit ANTIMONY MINERALS OCCUR IN TUFA-CEMENTED RUBBLE, APPARENTLY ERODED FROM A NEAR BY VEIN WHICH WAS NOT FOUND.; MODEL NAME COULD ALSO BE: SIMPLE SB.
Deposit TINGLEY (NBMG) VISITED THIS SITE IN 1985 AND IDENTIFIED IT BASED ON LAWRENCE'S FIG 5. TINGLEY'S LOCATION APPROXIMATELY MATCHES THE ULINA MINE MINERAL SURVEY DESCRIPTION. THE LOCATION GIVEN BY LAWRENCE IS APPARENTLY INCORRECT. TINGLEY, FREEPORT MACMORAN, AND OTHERS UNSUCCESSFULLY SEARCHED SECTION 9 (TINGLEY, FREEPORT PERSONAL COMMUNICATIONS, 1990). SITE LOCATION FOR THIS RECORD TAKEN FROM 7.5' TOPO., BASED ON TINGLEY'S CONFIRMATION OF LOCATION. ; INFO.SRC : 1 PUB LIT
