Comments on the geologic information

  • Geologic Description = At this site a quartz-filled shear zone striking northwest and dipping northeast cuts Cretaceous metasedimentary rock. The quartz vein, ranging in thickness from 2 to 8 inches, carries pyrite and free gold and is bounded by 1 to 2 inches of reddish gouge on both its hanging and foot walls. A 6-inch dike paralleling the vein is present above the hanging wall gouge. The dike and vein show evidence of faulting after their emplacement. The vein has been traced for 200-300 feet by a few open cuts. Assays with high gold values were reported and in 1935 a small prospecting mill was installed and the ore that was milled reportedly yielded satisfactory returns.
  • Age = Cretaceous or younger

Comments on the workings information

  • Workings / Exploration = In 1934 this vein was developed by a series of open cuts. It is reported that a small amount of ore was milled in 1935. No information is available concerning production and development since that time.
