Agency: NF Region District: R1 Ranger District: JEFFERSON Forest Service Tract: Watershed Code: 10020006 Forest or Resource Area: DEERLODGE Owner: M Impact: U Report: Klondyke (Basin District) Like the adjacent Sirius mine, the Klondyke is of interest mainly because of its high gold values and its location in an area of closely spaced veins and relatively pervasive alteration. The mine produced for five years between 1907 and 1946 a total of 342 tons of ore relinquishing 192 oz gold, 7650 oz silver, 8342 lbs of copper, 126,309 lbs of lead, and 2500 lbs of zinc (Roby and others, 1960). A select sample of chalcedony-pyrite vein ran .179 oz/ton Au, 3.56 oz/ton Ag, .59% Cu, 1.3% Pb, and .430% Zn. Workings consist of an open 165 foot shaft with 3 levels and 300 feet of drifts (Roby and others, 1960) and numerous short caved adits and prospect pits. The mine is located at the andesite-quartz monzonite contact which strikes east-west and dips 60N. Ownership is mostly private. |
