Deposit | Model Name = Placer Au-PGE (Cox and Singer, 1986; model 39a). |
Deposit | Other Comments = Cobb and Reed (1980) indicate that most of the mining in the basin was on Mills (TL059), Pass (TL024), and Twin (TL026) Creeks five to six miles to the southeast. Some production may have been from Camp Creek itself, but (if so) the location cannot be pinpointed. Platinum is reported in the basin (Capps, 1913). |
