| Deposit | LORI MINE IS LOCATED ON PERSHING RIDGE ALONG WITH PERSHING, MONTGOMERY AND EASTERN STAR MINES. THE RELATIVELY HIGH PERMEABILITY AND THE INTENSE FRACTURING OF THE CONGLOMERATE DOLOMITE ARE PROBABLE FACTORS INFLUENCING THE MERCURY MINERALIZATION. DISCOVERED 1912. PRODUCTION YEARS 1928-30, 1941-43, 1955-58. LOCATED AS PART OF THE PERSHING GROUP SOME PRODUCTION INCLUDED WITH PERSHING MINE. ; INFO.SRC : 1 PUB LIT |
