Starlight Open Pit; Starlite Prospect
Deposit: Same mineralization As lakevie W mine. Pegmatitic quartz veins along contact between prida limestone and koipato rhyolite. Veins contain muscovite, beryl, tourmaline,pyrite, scheelite and unknown metallic mineral. Beryl is dominantly white, one green specimen found. Limestone is marbleized along contact and contains locally abundant muscovite. Tourmaline is blue and occurs in rosettes. The mineralized zone trends NE and the workins are in both koipato rhyolite and prida limestone. Consists of 1 patented claim (starlight lode) and 10 unpatented claims. Developed by open pits. ; info.src : 1 pub lit; 2 unpub rept; 3 field observ
