Agency: NF Region District: R1 Ranger District: JEFFERSON Forest Service Tract: Watershed Code: 10020005 Forest or Resource Area: DEERLODGE Owner: M Impact: L Report: Bismark An broad area of discontinuous vein segments and disseminated mineralization in altered (feldspar to sericite and epidote, Winchell, 1914) granitic rock sits astride the NW-striking Bismark Fault. The Bismark Fault is one of several high-angle faults in the Tobacco Roots that may have determined the locations of plutonic bodies and with continued movement, the locations of mineralization. Both veins and wallrock contain pyrite, chalcopyrite, and molybdenite (O'Neill and others, 1983). Mineralization is probably continuous with that of the Quartz City property across the valley. The best values for 12 samples were no gold, 4.1 oz/ton silver, and 1.91% copper. Molybdenum averaged less than .05% (O'Neill and others, 1983). Production totals for 1913, 1916, and 1917 are 58,000 lbs of Cu, 7,000 lbs of lead, and 12,000 oz of silver. The deposit is developed by 4 adits on 4 levels with 1,850 feet of total workings. |
