Aga pit


A former Au-Ag-Cu-Pb-Te mine located in sec. 26, T14N, R8E, SBM, about 1 mile NW of Baker. Formerly owned by Otto Fuetterer. MRDS database stated accuracy for this location is 10 meters.

Mineralisation is a quartz vein Au deposit hosted in granite. Local rocks include Mesozoic granitic rocks, unit 3 (Sierra Nevada, Death Valley area, Northern Mojave Desert and Transverse Ranges).

Workings include surface and underground openings comprised of an adit and trenches.

Reportedly 2 truckloads of ore were shipped during the WWII period.

An excerpt from the ottoite description: "The most recent mining history of the area appears to have started in 1940 when Otto Fuetterer, for whom the mountain is now named, filed six claims named Good Hope 1–6. A short time later, A.G. Andrews (AGA) filed adjacent claims named Aga 1–20. Sometime after 1950, Fuetterer became sole owner of all of the claims, continuing to work them and ship small amounts of ore until his death" in Aug 1973.
