Comments on the location information

  • Location is uncertain. Used the visible clearing on satellite imagery in sec. 4 on the south edge of Round Park for coordinates and PLSS. This is subject to change. Sketch map by Klingmuller (p. 176) shows the main body of the deposit south of the south edge of T27N, R91W.

General comments

Subject category Comment text
Deposit At Jackpot, four major more or less overlapping ore trends have been identified at depths below 850 m. They are separated by about 90, 45, and 150 m barren intervals, i.e., they are distributed over a stratigraphic interval of 290 m. While a substantial part of these trends are stacked at Jackpot, in other areas ore trends are arranged en echelon or in a sloping pattern." [Dahlkmap, p. 185]
