No environmental concerns were noted. A general location of T.7N., R.18W. was found in Lawson (1975 and 1976).The status at the time was listed as "unknown" and then "developing". The MILS database stated that the mine was in sec. 25, T.7N., R.19W., however. The commodity was listed as fluorspar/fluorine. An adit symbol labeled as "mine" was shown east of Gold Creek on the Willow Mountain 7.5-min. quadrangle. It is about a one and a quarter mile directly to the northwest of the Willow Mountain peak. A sluffed adit was found in a roadcut; the waste-rock dump was on the opposite side of the road as the adit. The waste rock contained white, granular massive quartz with a few clear crystals. Some possible fluorite crystals were found. The original adit trended N.85 E. A sawn-lumber cabin in fair condition was at the junction of the road to the mine and the road to the lookout. |
