Antelope Island lies in Great Salt Lake, Davis County, approximately 16 mi northwest of Salt Lake City. The district has no credited production, but the area was prospected for Cu in the early twentieth century. All of Antelope Island is now a state park.
Antelope Island is a portion of a northerly trending mountain range in the Basin and Range Province of north-central Utah. Most of the mineral occurrences consist of small, Cu-bearing quartz veins hosted by Paleoproterozoic gneiss and slate. The veins are generally a few feet wide and may be traced for up to several hundred feet, trending northeasterly with variable dips. Some of the workings explore weathered rock that consists of hematitic gossans with silica boxwork structures. The only recognized primary sulfides in the deposits are chalcopyrite and pyrite (Doelling and others, 1988). Limited assays of high- grade dump rock samples show from 1 to 4% Cu and very low Ag, Au, Pb, and Zn.
