Comments on exploration

  • IN 1987, THE AREA IMMEDIATELY SURROUNDING THE HOT CREEK FLUORSPAR OCCURRENCE (MILS #0160590843) WAS CHOSEN FOR FURTHER INVESTIGATION BECAUSE A PREVIOUS STUDY INDICATED GOLD AND SILVER ANOMALIES IN THE VICINITY. A TOTAL OF 41 LODE AND 7 PLACER SAMPLES WERE COLLECTED AND IN THE FINAL ANALYSIS, FAILED TO SUBSTANTIATE THE PRESENCE OF ANY MINERAL RESOURCE.
