Agency: NF Region District: R1 Ranger District: Forest Service Tract: Watershed Code: Forest or Resource Area: DEERLODGE Owner: N Impact: Report: Eldorado and Plateau A caved shaft, a caved adit, and an open cut follow a N84E 70NW shear zone with veins of quartz, pyrite, galena, and sphalerite. The property is of note because a large area of altered, iron stained quartz monzonite extends to the north and because there are some high metal values associated with the system. A select vein sample ran .332 oz/ton Au, 17.63 oz/ton Ag, .290% Cu, 2.70% Pb, and 4.30% Zn. A vein sample described by the USGS (MRDS database) had .25 oz/ton Au and 6 oz/ton Ag. Site was sampled on 9/28/93 |
