A former Cu-Ag-Au-Sb-Bi-Pb-Co occurrence/mine located in the E½SW¼SE¼ sec. 14, T15N, R19E, MDM, 2 miles west of Carson City, on private property. Owned by Henry Quill. MRDS database stated accuracy for this location is 10 meters.
Mineralization includes Cu sulfides and other metals hosted in Late Triassic schist. The ore body strikes N and dips 60W. Cu-bearing sulfide minerals occur in massive quartz bodies and in schist. The deposit is in limey quartz-mica schist with the foliation striking generally N. Local rocks include shale, sandstone, volcanogenic clastic rocks, andesite, rhyolite, and locally thick carbonate units.
Workings include underground openings comprised of several caved adits, a loading facility and the remnants of a mill.
Production: Economic Com: $10,000 to $100,000.
