A surface Fluorspar-Baryte occurrence/prospect located in sec. 20, T8S, R22E, 14 miles SE of Klondyke, on private land. Discovered by John East and associates in 1955. Owned by Mr. Elton Kidd (1958).
Mineralization is an irregular ore body hosted in granite, at 0.41 meters wide, striking N30W, and dipping 75NE, associated with NE-trending Laramide dike swarms. The deposit is a baryte vein with minor fluorite in fractures in coarse-grained granite. Tabular crystal aggregates & massive baryte. It is probably an extension of the Marcotte fracture system.
Workings are 3.66 meters long, 1.83 meters wide and 3.05 meters deep. Analytical Data: 77.8% BaSO4; 4.9% CaF2.
