Agency: BLM Region District: BUTTE Ranger District: Forest Service Tract: Watershed Code: 10020002 Forest or Resource Area: DILLON Owner: B Impact: Report: Galena (BE000276) The Galena Mine, approximately 3/4 mile east of the Dexter, consists of two caved shafts(?), a caved adit(?), and several small dumps. Total surface disturbance is less than 1 acre. The workings explore a vein deposit in the Mississippian Madison Limestone; the vein strikes S20E and dips 70S (Shenon, 1931). Ore minerals included galena, pyrite, and some tetrahedrite (Shenon, 1931). Present-day evidence of mineralization includes only limonite staining on the dump rock. An AIM sample assayed 1,210 ppm lead, 1,530 ppm zinc, 99 ppm copper, 3.6 ppm silver, trace gold, and 256 ppm arsenic. No operational dates or production figures were found for this mine. This BLM site is located on the south side of a dry gulch; there is no water component. |
