Comments
Comment (Production): PRODUCED SOME 3 MILLION OR MORE TONS OF COPPER AND LEAD-ZINC ORE FROM 1906 TO 1947 AND SOME MANGANESE OXIDE IN 1917-1918.
Comment (Deposit): ORE ZONE IS COMPOSED OF 4 OR 5 PARALLEL FAULT ZONES, IS AS WIDE AT IT IS LONG, AND IS CONFINED TO THE TROUGH MADE BY THE SAHTTUCK AND WOLVERINE GRANITE-PORPHYRY DIKES. THIS TROUGH PHUNGES NE AND ITS BOTTOM BECOMES A SILL
Comment (Workings): SHALLOW SURFACE WORKINGS AND SHAFT AT LEAST 200 FT DEEP
