Agency: NF Region District: R1 Ranger District: DEERLODGE Forest Service Tract: Watershed Code: 17010201 Forest or Resource Area: DEERLODGE Owner: M Impact: U Report: Tibbetts (Poker Chip) Two open adits (one with a locked gate), each 100-200 feet long, investigate spotty, discontinuous contact mineralization in quartzite, limestone, and siltstone of the Cretaceous Kootenai formation near its contact with the Royal Stock. Mineralization which includes calcite, siderite, malacite, iron oxides, chlorite, sericite, calys, minor quartz, and epidote is contained within brecciated and sheared sedimentary rocks in a zone 100-200 feet thick and extending laterally away from the contact for an unknown distance. According to Elliott and others (1992) the Tibbetts was a small producer of gold, silver, and copper. A sample of breccia contained only .003 oz/ton gold, .20 oz/ton silver, .006% copper, .008% lead, and .007% zinc. |
