| Location and accuracy | This Rex lode prospect is at an elevation of about 550 feet on the southeast flank of Anvil Mountain, several hundred feet west of and above Dry Creek. The map location is just inside the north-central edge of section 7, T. 11 S., R. 33 W., Kateel River Meridian. It is locality 52 of Cobb (1972 [MF 463], 1978 [OFR 78-93]). |
Geologic descriptionCathcart (1922) reported several tunnels driven on calcite veins less than a foot thick in marble at this prospect. Although Cathcart did not observe quartz or sulfides, the owner reported that assays from one vein ran 0.15 to 0.2 ounce of gold per ton. | |
