Agency: NF Region District: R1 Ranger District: PHILIPSBURG Forest Service Tract: Watershed Code: 17010202 Forest or Resource Area: DEERLODGE Owner: M Impact: Report: Gold Reef Five caved adits with more than 2000 feet of total length follow one or more S42E 70SW veins over a strike length of more than 2000 feet. The vein is 2.5 feet wide, is comprised of quartz, siderite, specularite, chalcopyrite, magnetite, and carries high gold values. A select vein sample ran .392 oz/ton Au, .40 oz/ton Ag, .029% Cu, .013% Pb, .007% Zn. The vein is 2.5 feet wide and discordant with the enclosing unaltered quartzite of the Proterozoic Snowslip Formation (Elliott and others, 1992). Seven chip samples along a portion of the vein averaged .689 oz/ton (unpublished information, MBMG files). The nearby South Boulder Mill (Gold Reef Mill) was built to process ore from the mine, most of which was mined as an oxide ore (Emmons and Calkins, 1913) |
