Deposit | Model Name = Polymetallic veins |
Deposit | Other Comments = Six claims staked in 1925. Original claims lapsed in 1950 and ground was restaked several times since then. In 1973, the nearby Pecos and Solo Pecos claims were abandoned after limited exploration work.? Some reports link the Marietta and Silver King (BC028) claims, but the latter are at a lower elevation and possibly farther south (Berg and others, 1977, p. 39).? Site is in Misty Fiords National Monument.? |
