LH Placer Group
Deposit: Deposit is in a large alluvial fan extending westward from rosebud peak. The fan consists of both angular and rounded rock fragments including rhyolite, andesite, quartz, silicified fault breccia, and phyllite. The gravels overlie a clay layer which underlies the entire placer area and forms a false bedrock horizon separating gold-bearing gravels from underlying barren gravels. Most of the placer mining activity was concentrated in gullies that dissect the fan. ; info.src : 1 pub lit; 2 unpub rept; 3 field observ
Deposit type: Low-sulfide Au-quartz vein
Development: Placer mine was not active at time of examination in 1985.
