Albino Rodriguez Prospect
Near an unnamed creek across the Dosewallips River from Wilson Creek a deposit of manganese silicates occurs. It was developed by a short adit.
Note: This is almost certainly the same deposit as the Albino Rodriguez prospect described in Huntting (1956).
Tectonics: Active Margin (Leading Edge Of North American Plate)
Deposit: The deposit is a tabular body lying between basalt and tuff. It is exposed in the canyon wall over a slope distance of 350 feet, averages about 1 foot in width, and strikes north-south with an almost vertical dip. A fault causes a 20-foot horizontal displacement in the ore body and breaks its continuity near the center. The principal manganese minerals are silicates, with bementite predominating. Twelve samples, with an average width of 0.9 foot, had a weighted assay of 23.5 percent mn, 6.0 percent fe, and 31.8 percent insoluble 10 claims. ; info.src : 1 pub lit
Development: Short adit
Rock formation(s): Metchosin Volcanics
Ore(s): Deposit Lies Along Contact Between Basalt And Tuff
