NBMG Sample Site 2825, 2826
Deposit: Workings along willow creek were not accessible because of borax co. Policy, however, they were in highly altered volcanic rhyolites and tuffs, in same target area being drilled by company. The older workings to the north were along quartz veins in older sediments of the auld lang syne group. Sample 2825 was from a vein crossing a stream course in sediments that were being prospected by a small adit. The vein was a highly oxidized, silicified breccia. Sample 2826 was from a dump adjacent to a collapsed shaft in breccia and quartz veins. More prospects similar to these dot the landscape along the west side of the range within the older sediments. Developed by an inclined shaft, 200 foot main drift, and three stopes, As well As a new open pit. ; info.src : 1 pub lit; 2 unpub rept; 3 field observ
Deposit type: Epithermal vein, Comstock
Development: Area of old workings includes area of older drilling. Currently (1984) the area to the south is being redrilled by borax, which denied access to the older workings. They have several sections under new stakes including sections 3, 9, 10, 15, 6. Mining under way in 1988.
