Sec 26 T9N R65E. copper sulfides
Alteration: Silicification

Deposit: Discovery year: late 1920's (?) wolframite and some scheelite occur As scattered small crystals with limonite and Mn oxides in seams and vugs of 2 quartz veins about 800 ft apart, 2-3 ft thick, traceable in surface cuts and outcrops for 300-500 ft along strike. One vein contains base metal sulfides with the wolframite, but the other does not.
