Agency: NF Region District: R1 Ranger District: JEFFERSON Forest Service Tract: Watershed Code: 10020005 Forest or Resource Area: DEERLODGE Owner: P Impact: Report: Coal Creek Mine One caved shaft, four caved adits, and one open inclined shaft, explore steep NW (?) trending structures for 200-300 feet along strike and 100 feet across strike that contain dark brown siliceous gossan with pyrite casts and secondary copper minerals. The discontinuous mineralization is hosted by white to tan, coarsely crystalline limestone which is mapped as the Meagher formation, although it appears no geologist has completed a traverse through this valley. On the dump is some feldspar porphyry with <1% disseminated pyrite. On the north side of Coal Creek this porphyry is exposed on the surface. It also contains some disseminated pyrite and some small prospects. A select sample of gossanous ore (JMCC-1) contained .008 oz/ton Au, 0.84 oz/ton Ag, 3.87% Cu, 0.03% Pb, 0.106% Zn, and 0.08% As. The pyrite-bearing porphyry (JMCC-2) ran <.006 oz/ton Au, 0.18 oz/ton Ag, 0.019% Cu, 0.01% Pb, 0.025% Zn, and 0.08% As. |
