Deposit: The veins are 2 ft to 20 ft wide. They are open textured, spongy and contain solution cavities ranging in size from small vugs to elongate caves. The dewey and white swan mines have been reported to contain an estimated 26000 tons of measurable, indicated and inferred ore with an average grade of 0.53 % vanadium pentoxide and at the 1944 prices this ore could not be economically mined. ; info.src : 1 pub lit; 2 unpub rept
