Sec 30 T28N R33E
Structure: Faulting Faulting

Alteration: Wall Rock Sericitized, Locally Argillized

Commodity: Ore minerals not given in the references

Deposit: Two veins are explored. One vein strikes n40e, dips 80e, contains 4 inches of gouge and 32 inches of brecciated and unaltered sandstone. Gouge contains a few small pods and individual crystals of stibnite and abundant sb-oxide stains. The other vein strikes n80e, dips 55 degrees S and contains 12 inches of gouge with pyrite, 10% quartz, and 10-20% sb in form of pods of stibnite and stains of sb-oxides. Sandstone between the two veins is fractured and stringers of stibnite, 1/2 in wide, and sb-oxides fill the cracks. Sandstone itself contains disseminated pyrite and stibnite.; model name could also be: simple sb. Mine workings include two adits, two shallow shafts, and a number of open pits and trenches. The workings explore two veins ; info.src : 2 unpub rept; 3 field observ

Deposit type: Low-sulfide Au-quartz vein

Development: Several rotary drill holes-5 years old, with no evidence of more recent activity and no activity on the property when visited in 1985.
