Star Mine
A silver mine north of conconully. It was developed by a 350' deep incline shaft and several adits that totaled around 2000' in workings. The last work there was done in 1969.
Structure: The South End Of The Vein Has Been Offset As Much As 50 Ft By Faults.
Alteration: Sericitized Granodiorite
Commodity: Production 1886-1897, 1913, 1943, and 1969. Between 1886 and 1897 about $40000 had been spent developing the mine, but production amounted to only several thousand dollars. Trial shipments of ore were made to smelters in 1913, 1943, and 1969.
Deposit: Quartz fissure veins, with banded quartz. The ore minerals for the most part are only sparsely scattered throughout the vein. In some parts of the vein, the ore minerals are concentrated into bands up to several feet wide that parallel the walls of the vein. Comprised of jumbo, golden crown, lone star, gubser, and mineral hill properties
Development: Development from 1886-1890, 1969-1970 (flotation mill constructed, but not completed during this time), 1971, 1972, 1977, and 1979; limited exploration in 1979.
Geology: Geol.desc: fissure qtz.; sparsely mineralized
Rock formation(s): Similkameen
Ore(s): Quartz Veins In Fractures.
