Report: This site can be reached by taking forest route 2004 up the Hellroaring Plateau where it dead ends at Absaroka Beartooth wilderness boundary. From here it is roughly a 1 mile hike along the trail to the workings. As reported by James (1946), a chromite-bearing serpentine cut by a diabase dike 30 feet wide. The workings were abandoned in 1942 due to the difficulties in mining caused by the diabase dike. Two small shallow exploration trenches were seen about 200 feet north of the open pit workings of the Gallon Jug No. 1 & 2. No hazards were observed at the site.
