The North Tintic district lies north of the much larger Main and East Tintic districts of the greater Tintic district in the East Tintic Mountains of southeastern Tooele County. The North Tintic district is a geographically large, but modest Zn-Pb producer. Total district metal production at modern metal prices is estimated at $34 million. The Scranton underground mine is the only notable producer (Disbrow and Morris, 1957).
The East Tintic Mountains are one of the easternmost ranges in the Basin and Range Province in central Utah. The late Proterozoic- and Paleozoic-age strata of the North Tintic district have been broadly folded about the north-plunging, North Tintic anticline and Tintic syncline, which have been disrupted by numerous northeast-striking, right-lateral, strike-slip faults (Clark and others, 2012). While mineralization in the Main Tintic district to the south appears to be related to Eocene intrusives, Clark and others (2012) report Oligocene ages (29 to 25 Ma) on mafic intrusions and volcanics in the North Tintic district.
North Tintic has the smallest historical production of the four Tintic subdistricts, but, on average has the highest Zn ore grades (Krahulec and Briggs, 2006). The North Tintic district also has several Mn deposits. The Scranton mine, by far the largest operation in the North Tintic district, developed Zn-Pb mantos hosted in the Mississippian-age carbonate section. Average grades at the Scranton are 16.7% Zn, 9.5% Pb, 23.7 ppm Ag, and some minor Cu and Au which may not have been recovered (Disbrow and Morris, 1957). Nearly all historical production was derived from oxidized ores.
