Report: BaKaMa One dry caved adit and a series of prospect pits follow a NE-trending vein of quartz, chalcedony, pyrite, chalcopyrite, tourmaline, tetrahedrite, and abundant calcite. Although a select vein sample ran only .016 oz/ton Au, 9.26 oz/ton Ag, .870% Cu, .440% Pb, and .154% Zn, in 1918 and 1942 the mine produced 26 tons of ore yielding 1385 oz Ag and 3190 lbs Cu (Roby and others, 1960). This high grade ore probably came from a zone of supergene enrichment.
