A Cu-Au prospect located in the SE ¼ sec. 29, T.30N., R.17W.
Mineralization is the Troy vein, a quartz-carbonate vein. Four vein slivers exposed in the upper prospect pit. Overall strike of the vein is N.5º-10IE. A little orange-brown carbonmate occurs in the mostly quartz vein. A small amount of malachite staining and some coarse, anhedral pyrite oxidizing to cellualr, drusy boxworks. Small flecks of gold are seen in the cellular drusy "high-grade."
The lower adit contains a splendid example of a quartz-carbonate vein disrupted and sheared out by later faulting. The vein is sheared off 15 meters from this adit's portal. This occurrence is a brecciated quartz vein sliver in a low-angle oblique slip fault, similar to that in the vein just West of the Golden Gate Mine. This vein has a maximum exposed thickness of 1 meter. No sulfides are seen in the lower adit.
