CLAIMS NORTHEAST OF BORIANA
The Boriana schist belt extends northeastward across the Hualpai Range into the upper portions of Cane Springs Canyon, where it contains tungsten-bearing quartz veins, structurally and mineralogically similar to the Boriana. Here, on ground held by the Molybdenum Corporation of America, considerable relatively shallow mining has been done by small operators and lessees who concentrated their ore by hand sorting and with small gravity mills.
