Report: Horseshoe Bend One caved adit a few hundred feet long and several prospect pits examine a zone of earthy gossan in Mount Shields quartzite. Presumably, the miners were seeking an extension of the Hidden Lake gold mineralization in a similar geologic setting, but a sample (JGHB-1) of the "ore" carried only .006 oz/ton gold, .14 oz/ton silver, .004% copper, .008% lead, and .010% zinc.
