Alteration: Sericitization
Deposit: The property includes claims nos. 1,2, and 3. On adriene no. 1 claim two quartz-antimony veins occur in interbedded shale and quartzite with main vein, 8 to 12 inches wide, strikes n5 W and dips 45-65 degrees W termining against a 6 to 12 inch vein striking n65 W and dips 70 degrees s. Quartz-sb singers occur at the intersection of the two veins. On adriene no. 2 claim 4 to 24 inch quartz-sb veins striking n20 W and dipping 70-75 degrees W occur in quartze with some interbedded sandstone. The vein may be a continuation of that on the adriene no.1 claim. Antimony occurs As pods and individual crystals of stibnite in the quartz stringers. Much of the stibnite has been oxidized. Pods of sb oxide and stibnite in 2-5 cm quartz veinlets; phyllites are largely barren, probably a factor of the greater competency of sandstone versus phyllites.; model name could also be: simple sb. The property includes the adriene claims nos. 1.2. And 3, located end to end along a northwest-trending ridge. It is developed by 2 shallo W shafts, several trenches, and an open cut and adit. ; info.src : 1 pub lit; 2 unpub rept; 3 field observ
Deposit type: Low-sulfide Au-quartz vein
Development: No activity in 1985; idle 4-5 years.
