Ref.: Ashley, R.P. (1974), Field Examination (Unnamed Cu-Mo-Pb prospect 95-17).
MRDS database Dep. ID file #10039773, MRDS ID #M050832.
A Cu occurrence/prospect with surface and underground workings located in sec. 9, T13S, R12E.
Mineralization is a vein deposit hosted in andesite. The ore body is 4 meters wide and strikes N75W with a dip of 63S. An associated rock unit is quartz monzonite. This prospect lies on the same fault zone as prospect 95-16. Most strongly sheared and brecciated areas have quartz, purplish hematite plus limonite. Locally wulfenite occurs on shear and fracture surfaces. Minor Cu silicate.
Workings include 2 adits, 2 shafts, and 2 pits over a 50 meter stretch.
