Other/historical names associated with this locality:
Tamney Tungsten Property, M-9 Adit, Wahmonie Workings, M-9 Adit-Climax Stock; New 210 Tunnel
Rock formation(s): Ninemile Formation Of The Pogonip Group
Deposit: 4-5 ore showings on property-one on granite-limestone contact, theothers bed replacement in hanging wall of wide, prominent garnet zones. Ore minerals occur associated with a quartz vein in limestone. In placces the mineralized zone extends out into the limestone forming small iregular pods.-several ore bodies
Development: Located in 1937 by v.a. Tamney, goldfield consolidated mines did considerable exploration in 1938 and 1940, u.s. Vanadiam corp. Did complete sampling job in 1939. Some ore reportedly shipped in 1917
Rock formation(s): Climax Stock
