A former Ag-Au-Pb-Cu-Zn occurrence/mine located in the NWΒΌ sec. 33, T23N, R17W, G&SRM, 7 miles SE of Chloride and 1 mile NE of Stockton Hill, on Bureau of Land Management administered land. The property consists of 8 unpatented claims. Previous owners and operators include Fletcher Mining Company (1902); Taggart Mercanbtile and Mining Company (1911); H.S. Mulcay; Gerry Haynes; C.O.D. Mines, Incorporated; C.O.D. Mining Company (1911); J.J. Pert (1926); J.J. Pearl (1927); John Osterman (1940); R.P.M. Davis; Kingman Silver Mining Company (1970); Mrs. Nellie Clack Estate and Partners, Arizona (1976). Operated by C. O. D. Alanco, Ltd. (1988). Discovered in 1878 with first production in 1885. Main production years were 1901 through 1948. Closed 1974. The USGS MRDS database stated accuracy for this locality is 100 meters. Additional workings located in sec. 28.
Mineralization is a hydrothermal vein deposit (Mineral occurrence model information: Model code: 85; USGS model code: 22c; Deposit model name: Polymetallic veins; Mark3 model number: 46), hosted in schist and gneiss. The ore body strikes N85W and dips 80N at a width of 0.2 meter and a length of 1,600 meters, as lenses and shoots. Ore body No. 1 is a fissure vein and lenticular while ore body No. 2 is pipe-like. The primary mode of origin was hydrothermal activity. Primary ore control was fracturing and the secondary control was igneous activity including fissures and dikes. The vein cuts the porphyritic granite and basalt dikes, both of which are associated with chlorite schists. Mineralization is associated with a Late Cretaceous porphyry intrusion. Jointing and schistosity trend N20ΒΊW, and dip 90ΒΊ, with secondary joints striking N70ΒΊW and dipping 80ΒΊS, associated with the ore vein. Associated rocks include Late Cretaceous-Neoproterozoic basalt and the Ithaca Peak granite. Local rocks include Early Proterozoic metamorphic rocks.
Workings include underground openings comprised of an inclined shaft with drifts and stopes, 2 other shallower shafts at 375 and 60 feet deep. Mined by shrinkage stope method. According to the Arizona Department of Mines and Mineral Resources active mines list for 1987-1988, this deposit was under development in 1987 as an underground base and precious metals mine.
Production statistics: Year: 1948 (period = 1901-1948): Au (accurate): ^2 ounces (56 grams)/metric ton; Ag (accurate): ^160 ounces (4,518 grams)/metric ton.
Reserves and resources: Type = tailings; estimate year = 1980. Total resources = 1,000 metric tons of tailings. Ag = 105.601 grams/metric ton; Au = 3.388 grams/metric ton; Pb = 0.29 weight percent; Zn = 1.25 weight percent. Underground resources were not evaluated.
