Report: Quote from Gibson, Russell, 1948, p. 122 ..... "The Trio prospect includes two unpatented claims on Emma Creek half a mile west of Bull Lake. An adit and crosscut with a total of 200 feet of workings have been driven in light-colored sandstone and argillite of the Ravalli formation. In most places the beds dip westward and southwestward at low angles, but in some places east of the prospect they are horizontal. The ore forms irregular patches in a large fault zone that strikes north. The dip of the fault is uncertain, as the ground is much disturbed, but it appears to be about 55 degrees westward. The beds of the fault are stongly sheared. The chief metallic minerals , none of them very abundant, in the vein and on the dump are pyrrhotite, pyrite, galena, and sphalerite; magnetite and chalcopyrite are present in minor quantity, and a little supergene marcasite and limonite was seen. The gangue is chiefly quartz but includes a little chlorite and carbonate. As a result of movement along the fault later than the mineralization the veins have been broken into segments, and under the microscope it is seen that some mineral grains have been shattered and partly replaced by other minerals." This site was screened out because there is no road along Emma Creek and the description of the site is vague.
