Agency: NF Region District: R1 Ranger District: JEFFERSON Forest Service Tract: Watershed Code: 10020006 Forest or Resource Area: DEERLODGE Owner: M Impact: L Report: Rocker Two caved adits, one short caved shaft, and several trenches appear to explore N5W-trending vein in altered quartz monzonite. The Rocker is noteworthy for the presence of some beautiful specimens of Boulder Batholith vein containing quartz, tourmaline, pyrite, sphalerite, galena, tetrahedrite, chalcopyrite, and arsenopyrite. A select sample of this material ran .092 oz/ton Au, 6.67 oz/ton Ag, and a few percent Cu, Pb, and Zn. The main adit discharges water and is probably a crosscut 100 feet to the vein. Dump size indicates about 750 feet of workings present. The dump contains about 1500 tons of quartz monzonite with abundant pyrite and 1.46 oz/ton Au (see map). Contaminated soil extends from the dump to Rocker Creek. Ownership is probably mixed private and national forest. |
