Report: Vanadinite BE003935 The Vanadinite was never positively located (accuracy is +/-5 kilometers in the MILS database), but from Geach's description the location would fit the unnamed adit and cabin on the west side of the East Fork of Dyce Creek. Geach (1972) reports three shafts, two adits and one drift (a total of 440 feet of workings). The adit (if this is the Vanadinite) trends N10o E and the dump is 95% granodiorite and perhaps 5% skarn minerals (epidote, garnet, calcite and chlorite).
