Location and accuracy | The Bear Gulch prospect is at an elevation of about 2,100 feet on a south tributary of Sheep River, about 5 miles southwest of Rainbow Lake. It is in the NW1/4 sec. 2, T. 25 N., R. 1 W., Seward Meridian. The location is accurate to within a 1/4 mile radius. This is locality 25 of MacKevett and Holloway (1977) and locality 88 of Csejtey and Miller (1978). The BG 1 to 32 claims were staked in the 1970's by Cities Service Minerals Company. |
Geologic descriptionThis prospect consists of chalcopyrite and molybdenite disseminated in altered Tertiary granitic rock near its contact with upper Paleozoic metavolcanic rocks (MacKevett and Holloway, 1977). U.S. Geological Survey rock samples contain up to 15,000 parts per million copper, 150 parts per million molybdenum, 100 parts per million lead, and 130 parts per million zinc (Miller and others, 1978). This prospect has been explored by IP and ground magnetics surveys and one diamond drill hole (Don Stevens, written communication, 2001). | |
