A Mn occurrence/prospect located in the S½NE¼ sec. 8, T27N, R9W (MDM), 4.9 km (3.0 miles) S of Tedoc Mountain, on the E side of Cold Fork Cottonwood Creek, near its headwaters, on National Forest land (located claim). Discovered in 1939. Owned by Horace Gregory and Charles Moffitt, California (1974). MRDS database stated accuracy for this location is 1,000 meters.
The ore body is 30.48 meters long. The ore occurs in 30 foot thick lenses of thin-bedded, red, chalcedonic chert with thin, shaly partings. It is underlain and overlain by greenstone. The upper greenstone is in contact with serpentine on the surface. Folding causes local changes in strike, and faulting causes small offsets. The ore occurs as 2 bodies, separated by faulting. The main body to the N is about 100 feet long and 3 feet thick. The estimated depth is 20 feet. Smaller lens outcrops intermittently over 50 feet. The primary ore is finely banded chalcedonic material, often containing thin bands of tan rhodochrosite, and bands of granular bementite. Local rocks include Paleozoic marine rocks, undivided, unit 9 (Western Klamath Mountains).
Workings include unspecified surface openings/operations.
Analytical data results: The ore grades 25 to 30% Mn, and about 25% silica.
