Report: Three adits were described at the Deer Creek occurrence in a U.S. Bureau of Mines mineral property file. This is a iron deposit consisting of magnetite lenses exposed along the ridge. This was considered a iron deposit and it was estimated that a resource of 20,000 to 50,000 tons at 65.2 percent iron, 1.12 percent aluminum and 5.12 percent silica was present (Johnson et al., 1993). The site was screened out because of the ridgetop location, inaccurate location, and because of the lack of access.
