Comments on the geologic information

  • THE DEPOSIT IS IN HORNBLENDE- AND BIOTITE-BEARING SCHIST AND QUARTZ DIORITE GNEISS NEAR THE CONTACT WITH THE CONCONULLY PLUTON OF CRETACEOUS AGE, ACCORDING TO MOEN (1973). THE DEPOSIT IS SHOWN AS BEING WITHIN THE METAMORPHIC COMPLEX OF CONCONULLY BY STOFFEL (1990) AND IS SHOWN BY RINEHART (1981) TO BE AT THE CONTACT OF THE CONCONULLY PLUTON OF CRETACEOUS AGE AND METASEDIMENTARY AND METAVOLCANIC ROCKS OF PERMIAN AND TRIASSIC AGE THAT ARE ELSEWHERE (RINEHART AND FOX, 1976) SHOWN AS THE METAMORPHIC COMPLEX OF CONCONULLY.

Comments on the production information

  • IN 1901 A CARLOAD OF ORE WAS SHIPPED TO A SMELTER; $10/TON WAS RECEIVED. IN 1923-24 SEVERAL SMALL SHIPMENTS OF LEAD AND COPPER ORE WERE MADE; HOWEVER, RETURNS FROM THE SMELTER DID NOT EXCEED MINING COSTS. IN 1957 ORE WAS CONCENTRATED AT A FLOTATION MILL IN OMAK AND SHIPPED TO THE SMELTER (MOEN, 1973, P. 20).
