| Location and accuracy | This prospect is at an elevation of about 2,050 feet, east of the head of Lake Fork of Paint River and 0.9 mile northwest of hill 3169. The prospect is in the SW1/4 SW1/4 sec. 2, T. 11 S., R. 31 W., Seward Meridian. The site is locality 21 of Detterman and Cobb (1972), and is accurate within about 0.5 mile. |
Geologic descriptionThe country rock at this prospect is mainly Jurassic quartz diorite that locally contains roof pendants of Jurassic mafic and ultramafic igneous rocks (Detterman and Reed, 1980). The prospect consists of small bodies of magnetite-quartz and magnetite-rich skarn in the mafic and ultramafic rocks (Berg and Cobb, 1967; Detterman and Reed, 1980). | |
