Agency: NF Region District: R1 Ranger District: DEERLODGE Forest Service Tract: Watershed Code: 17010201 Forest or Resource Area: DEERLODGE Owner: N Impact: Report: Morning Star (Pioneer-Rose Mtn District) A caved adit discharging water marks the location of the Morning Star on Deerlodge National Forest lands. The deposit is hosted by granodiorite of the Cretaceous RoyaStock, although the contact with the enclosing marble is very close. Most of the, 1000 tons of dump material is composed of unaltered granodiorite. Vein material on the dump consists of quartz and coarse grained sericite, with a trace of pyrite, chalcocite, and malachite. Near the vein, the igneous rock is weakly iron-stained and contains clay alteration products. A dump composite of mineralized material (both vein and altered wallrock), which comprises only a minor portion of the dump, contained 0.189 oz/ton Au, 4.98 oz/ton Ag, .078% Cu, .590% Pb, and .006% Zn. Emmons and Calkins (1913) describe this working as a 600 foot crosscut to a vein mined for its precious metal content. This site is on private land. |
