Report: This site was screened out because its commodity was listed as dimension stone or stone (although Marks' description made it sound like this was a copper-lead occurrence). The only reference was Marks' Bob Marshall Wilderness Study. This site was screened out because of the remote location (it is 32 miles by pack trail), the small nature of the disturbance and the commodity. Marks (1978) describes one west trending, caved adit (caved), and two prospect pits. These workings explored the contact between the Helena Formation and an underlying diorite sill. Minerals associated with the occurrence include malachite, limonite, bornite, chalcopyrite, smithsonite, sphalerite, and auricalcite (Marks, 1978). The occurrence was claimed in 1919 by Otto Waddell, N.S. Dobbs, and Harry Marks. Claim names include the Old Hickory, High Land, Mable, Lucky Strike, and Evening Star.
