700 Ounce AU Past Producer/1920's!

Mine Details

Location: Idaho, USA
Commodities: Gold

Summary

Medium to high grade ore underground, 2800 ton tailing pile holding 110 ounces fine gold. Permitted to remove tailings from claims.

Location and Access

Lemhi County Idaho. Access is by paved highway then USFS road for 2.5 miles to Adit/Portal.

Description

Was located 101 years ago by Percy Anderson. Worked until 1929. Took ore to 4 stamp mill and cyanide vat leach mill 2 miles away by mule or horse pack train. 800 feet of underground workings. No timber. Solid quartz structure. I have many photos, reports and assays. Property was leased in mid 90's to company that was sold and lease cancelled in 1996.

Geology

Gold quartz vein in quartzite and mica schist of the Belt series. It strikes 70 N. and dips sharply northeast.

History

Located April 1923. Mined until end of 1929. Defense Miinerals Exploration Agency core drilled and drifted 1500 linear feet in 1954-5 in Friedorf Gulch. Identified 100,000 tons of .1 % ur oxide. Bureau of Mines. Check out this publication. https://www.idahogeology.org/pub/Pamphlets/P-115.pdf

Additional Information

I seek a company and/or investors to lease and/or option to purchase. Property has been explored extensively. Drilled by core as well as RC. Underground IP Survey in 2015 indicated vein goes much deeper than can be seen in the adit. This has the potential to be a lucrative, small to medium size underground gold producer. One mile away is a core drill proven 890,000 ounce deposit, mostly on Patented or Private Property. I mined it by hand in 2010 and have a couple dozen photos of how that was accomplished as well as the gold I recovered
