A former Au-Ag occurrence/mine located in sec. 22, T20N, R19E, MDM, 0.7 km (0.4 mile) E of Raleigh Heights, on private land within a National Forest area. MRDS database stated accuracy for this location is 10 meters. This mine has been idle for over 50 years (as of 1969 per Bonham.
Mineralization is hosted in diorite. The mineralized zone strikes approximately N80E. Pyrite and oxidation products thereof occur as fine disseminations in a siliceous gangue. Controls for ore emplacement included a Mesozoic metamorphic-intrusive contact (Tertiary granodiorite porphyry). Local alteration includes silicification. Local rocks include granitic rocks; shale, sandstone, volcanogenic clastic rocks, andesite, rhyolite, and locally thick carbonate units.
Workings include underground openings comprised of a 300 foot shaft sunk on a silicified zone along the contact.
Alteration: Silicification
Ore(s): Metamorphic-Intrusive Contact
NOTE: This mine is not listed in the USGS MRDS database.
