Report: Thompson Mine BE004125 This mine is considered a part of the patented Hillside Placer Mine; it is not itself patented but is on patented land. It is located in Mississippian Madison limestone associated with the Cretaceous granodiorite stock (Loen and Pearson, 1989). Lowell (1965) shows the regional geologic location of this mine. There is one high sulfide lobe on the east side of the ore dump (already sampled by DSL-AMRB) but the dump is at least ½ mile from Grasshopper Creek and there is no significant erosion or runoff.
