Report: Foolhen Property BE000822 Quote from D.D. Walker, 1963, USBM RI 6334, p. 7 and 8...... "The Fool Hen prospect, 2 miles southeast of the Calvert mine, is accessible by three miles of pack trail from the Calvert mine. It lies at an altitude of 7,600 feet on the crest of a sharp ridge between Bryant Creek and Alder Creek. Workings consist of a 1,000-foot bulldozer trench with two short side cuts. There has been no production. The geology is similar to that at the Calvert mine. The limestone has been metamorphosed to a medium-grained, gray, dolomitic marble. Banding shows that the strike ranges from N. 25 degrees E. to N. 25 degrees W., with an almost vertical dip. The tactite lenses and pods range from 80 feet long by 25 feet wide to streaks a few feet long and a few inches wide. Scheelite grains up to an eighth of an inch in diameter are irregularly disseminated through the tactite. Samples from two small tactite zones, exposed in the northwest part of the bulldozer trench, assayed 0.43 percent WO3. Four other samples ranged from less than 0.01 to 0.23 percent WO3." Truckle (1988) mapped this area and does not note the above mentioned formations or occurrences. The property has an inaccurate location and was screened out of this study.
