Report: Big View PO005165 There are no references to this occurrence except for a U.S.B.M. mineral property file (21.055); a search of the NW¼ section 30, T.11N., R.7W. found only two shallow prospect pits. The pits explored a skarn occurrence containing massive garnet, epidote and calcite (marble?) probably in contact with the Kqm mapped by Loen, 1990.
