Agency: NF Region District: R1 Ranger District: DEERLODGE Forest Service Tract: Watershed Code: 17010201 Forest or Resource Area: DEERLODGE Owner: P Impact: Report: Northern Cross The Northern Cross presumably prospected a fault zone which places Belt quartzite against Paleozoic carbonate rocks. This may be part of the Hidden Lake Thrust, although Emmons and Calkins (1913) described it as a steeply east-dipping fault carrying quartz, pyrite, and several dollars in gold to the ton. The Northern Cross workings are comprised of a caved shaft and 2 caved adits on the east side of the fault in iron and copper stained brecciated Paleozoic limestone. The site may have been explored for its copper content, as a select sample (JGNC-2) contained <.006 oz/ton gold, .12 oz/ton silver, 3.02% copper, .005% lead, and .021% zinc. Recent drilling has been performed as part of the Hidden Lake gold exploration project. |
