Agency: NF Region District: R1 Ranger District: PHILIPSBURG Forest Service Tract: Watershed Code: 17010202 Forest or Resource Area: DEERLODGE Owner: N Impact: Report: Kent The Kent Mine has been well-described by Wallace and others (1985). A shear zone along or parallel to the contact between Belt quartzite and Cretaceous granite of the Sapphire batholith strikes N80E 70SE for at least 1700 feet. The shear zone is up to 10 feet thick and contains quartz-pyrite-limonite veins up to .2 feet thick. They reported some high grade samples, including a chip channel sample across 2.5 feet containing 1.06 oz/ton Au and 242 oz/ton Ag. Samples also contained up to 1.1% Pb. Despite the high grade of resources, tonnage was predicted to be low. About 2000 feet of workings are present beyond a caved shaft and caved adit (caved at 100 feet). Production totals are 341 tons of ore yielding 88 oz of Au, 5932 oz of Ag, 177 lbs of Cu, and 2162 lbs of lead (Wallace and others, 1985). Presently, a discharge issues from the adit and runs through a heavily vegetated dump consisting of 4000 tons of unaltered to weakly iron stained granite. |
