Agency: NF Region District: R1 Ranger District: JEFFERSON Forest Service Tract: Watershed Code: 10020006 Forest or Resource Area: DEERLODGE Owner: N Impact: Report: Memphis Through this long crosscut, the Ruby zone was mined at the 600 foot level. About 3,000 feet of workings are present (unpublished map, MBMG files). A discharge emerges from the locked portal and runs into the dump. Approximately 9,000 tons of dump material remains. Most is welded tuff with 1% disseminated pyrite and low metal values (see map). The Memphis mined the lower part of the Ruby zone which was apparently higher in base metal sulfides and lower in precious metals content (unpublished information, MBMG files). This is supported by the composition of the vein in the ore bin, which is greater than 50% sulfides, including pyrite, sphalerite, galena, and chalcopyrite. A select sample contained only 0.048 oz/ton Au and 6.38 oz/ton Ag (see map). |
