| Deposit | COBALT ORES WERE NOTED ON THE ROSE, BECK, BLUE JAY AND OTHER PROPERTIES IN THE AREA BUT NOT IN SUFFICIENT QUANTITIES TO WARRANT FUTURE INVESTIGATION UNLESS DETAILED SAMPLING WOULD INDICATE IMPORTANT TONNAGES AT THE COLUMBIA AND HIGHLINE PROPERTIES. SELECTED SAMPLES FROM THE BLUE JAY ASSAYED 0.05 AND 1.73 PERCENT COBALT. THE PRINCIPAL COBALT MINERAL IN THE GOODSPRINGS DISTRICT IS HETEROGENITE WHICH IS FOUND SPORADICALLY DISTRIBUTED IN THE COPPER ORES OR AS REPLACEMENTS IN THE DOLOMITIC WALL ROCKS OF THE COPPER DEPOSITS. |
