Golconda Gold Ledge
Sec 1 & 2 T35N R41E. Just north of Silver Coin. - No production.
Alteration: Silicification
Deposit: S patented claims. The workings at this property explore a n20e, 65 nw, 1 m wide zone of silicification and quartz- veinlet stockwork. Quartz veinlets are 1-5 mm wide but also occur in lesser amounts in the wallrock elsewhere. The wallrock is black dolomite, locally silicified. Some calcite and dolomite occur in the vein, As well As iron oxide minerals, sparse - oxide copper minerals and a greenish-yellow unidentified mineral. The property is near the end of a zone of silicification -shown on go-1175. The workings are in silicified limestone and black shale. ; info.src : 1 pub lit; 2 unpub rept; 3 field observ
