A former Au-Ag occurrence/mine located in secs. 29, 30, 31 & 32, Black Hills meridian, near Central City, 2 miles NW of Lead, on private land. Owned by the National Gold Mining Company. The USGS MRDS database stated accuracy for this locality is 10 meters.
Local alteration includes intense silicification of fault breccia that preceded the introduction of ore minerals. Controls for ore emplacement included a brecciated fault zone that trends N75E through the porphyry. Local rocks include Trachytic Intrusive Rocks.
Workings include underground openings. The Kangaroo claim has an old drift that trends S10W. The Winnie F. claim has a 500 foot shaft with levels at 200, 350 and 500 feet along the strike of the mineralized zone for 2,600 feet. A 50 ton oil flotation mill was installed.
