Agency: BLM Region District: BUTTE Ranger District: Forest Service Tract: Watershed Code: 10020002 Forest or Resource Area: DILLON Owner: M Impact: Report: Rena (BE000030) The Rena workings are located on a dry ridge approximately 1/2 mile southeast of the Golden Era Mine. Surface disturbances cover approximately 4 acres and consist of trenches, pits, waste rock dumps, and 2 caved shafts. The workings follow a vein cutting Precambrian Belt Shale; the vein strikes N40W and dips 60S. Ore mineralogy included argentiferous galena, pyrite, and gold; sphalerite, arsenopyrite, chalcopyrite, and galena were also present. The gangue mineralogy was quartz (Geach, 1972). Ore shipped post 1922 assayed 20% lead and 2 ounces of gold per ton; earlier shipments were purported to have had a gold content of about 5 ounces per ton (Shenon, 1931). This site was discovered in 1884. Production records are incomplete; production in 1940 and 1947-48 was 63 tons of ore yielding 5641 pounds of lead, 2394 pounds of zinc, 197 pounds of copper, 220 ounces of silver, and 68 ounces of gold (Geach, 1972). The Rena is a dry site; there is no water component. This site is registered as a patented claim; some workings and dump rock may be on USFS adjacent to the patented claim. |
