Report: Giant Claim LC007350 This occurrence is also known as Cameron mine and is located up Stonewall Creek on a patented claim. There is one collapsed adit with no discharge. McClernan (1983) and Earhart and others (1977) describe this mine as a vein or gold-bearing shear zone occurrence in Precambrian Spokane Formation associated with a diorite sill. Iron oxides, quartz stringers, epidote, calcite were found on a small dump; ore minerals of chalcocite and malachite were reported Earhart and others (1977). A grade from literature (Earhart and others, 1977) of 0.59 opt Au, 0.4 opt Ag, 0.063% Cu and 0.002% Pb. Fifty-five feet of adit and a twenty-five foot winze (McClernan, 1983) is reflected in the size of the dump. All disturbances are on patented ground. There are active unpatented claims to the north not associated with this mine.
