Agency: NF Region District: R1 Ranger District: SWAN LAKE Forest Service Tract: Watershed Code: 17010211 Forest or Resource Area: FLATHEAD Owner: N Impact: Report: Copper Angel Prospect MI002508 The Copper Angel Prospect is located to the southwest of Holland Lake in the southwest corner of section 36, T20N, R16W (Holland Lake quadrangle). Marks (1978) described the site as an adit driven into massive dolomitic limestone, argillite, and quartzite. Mineralization is associated with quartz-filled shear zones. Assays from the site contained minor amounts of silver and copper. MBMG visited the site in September 2000 and observed one open adit trending N75 E. The adit was dry with no evidence of discharge and was driven approximately 45 feet into the bedrock. The small dump below the adit was partially vegetated. Scattered crusts of malachite and thin quartz-veins (less than 1-inch across) were evident in the waste rock and in host rock surrounding the adit. There were no structures or other hazards evident in the area. |
