Economic information

Controls for ore emplacement

  • The Host Rocks Of The Deposit Strike N30-40w And Dip 50-80w. The Dip Of Shear Fractures Containing Fine Stringer Veins Is At A Lower Angle Than That Of The Bedding. Alteration, While Extensive, Is Limited To A Small Area Around The Vein (Purdy, 1951).

Comments on the geologic information

  • MINERALIZATION IS IN VEINS IN THE GRAYWACKE AND ARGILLITE OF THE JURASSIC-CRETACEOUS NEWBY GROUP (BUNNING, 1990).

District name Gold Creek Area

Comments on the production information

  • A SMALL AMOUNT OF ORE WAS EXTRACTED AND MAY HAVE BEEN SHIPPED IN 1906. ABOUT 10 YEARS LATER, 1000 TONS OF STIBNITE ORE AND SEVERAL HUNDRED TONS OF ANTIMONY OXIDE, WHICH HAD BEEN MANUFACTURED IN A SMALL PLANT NEAR THE MINE, WERE SHIPPED. ABOUT 2/3 OF A CARLOAD OF ORE WAS SHIPPED IN 1941 (PURDY, 1951, P. 109).
