Report: Hector Three short open adits on national forests lands are spread along a N60W zone in quartz monzonite with kaolinite and pyrite alteration products and containing a few thin chalcedony-pyrite veinlets. The outcrops are badly weathered and covered with manganese oxides. Lily-of-the-West Creek runs across the lowermost and largest dump, which contains about 100 tons of altered wallrock (JJHC-1) at <0.006 oz/ton Au, 0.48 oz/ton Ag, 0.17% Cu, 0.42% Pb, and 0.55% Zn. The weak mineralization and northeast trend suggest that the mineralization is related to the large breccia zone to the southwest rather than to standard east-west Boulder Batholith veins. ......water.................................
