Sec 28 T31N R43E. Gold, Silver and some bismuth mineral.
Structure: Golconda Thrust Fault N-S-Trending Faults

Alteration: Oxidation, Leaching (Enrichment Of Au And Ag)

Deposit: Ore consists of loosely coherent limonitized material containing quartz crystals and chert fragments filling shear zones and caves. Ore bodies were originally massive sulphides (pyrite, arsenopyrite, which were leached during oxidation, leaving porous masses of oxide material s.

Development: Main production years were 1938-1943. Recent exploration has been by apco oil co.

Rock formation(s): Pumpernickel

Ore(s): Shear Zone, Brecciation
