Agency: NF Region District: R1 Ranger District: SHERIDAN Forest Service Tract: Watershed Code: 10020005 Forest or Resource Area: BEAVERHEAD Owner: N Impact: L Report: Urbane (MA006812) The Urbane workings, as investigated in 1994, consist of 1 caved adit, 1 open adit, and accompanying dumps. Workings are located on the north side of north Goodrich Gulch. Total surface disturbance is less than 1 acre. Host rock is Precambrian Pony Gneiss (granite, tonalite, and gabbro gneiss). Quartz veins up to 1/2" thick are visible in some of the dump rock and no doubt acted as the gangue. The only obvious indication of mineralization is iron-oxide staining (especially on the upper dump where drier conditions prevail). One gabbro gneiss sample was found with pyrite inclusions. Johns (1961) indicated the lower adit was on a brecciated fault zone trending N20E and dipping 45-50W. Gold and silver ore was purportedly produced here (Johns, 1961). An AIM sample assayed 104 ppm lead, 94 ppm zinc, 83 ppm copper, 0.6 ppm silver, trace gold, and 6 ppm arsenic. Information on operational history and production was not found in the literature. Judging from the size of the dumps, production was small. All workings are on USFS land. The lowest dump lies perpendicular to a small creek and dams it. Johns 1961 plan map was modified to show surface drainage. |
