The Chatfield mine, which is about 200 ft northwest of the Battles, is in the northward continuation of the Battles dike. It was worked in December 1943 by the Georgia Mica Co. Drifts were driven north and south for short distances from the bottom of a 45-ft shaft. This opening collapsed in April 1944. Oliver Howell began to sink a new shaft that was aimed at the pegmatite near the heading of the drift, but work was suspended at a depth of 30 ft.
The pegmatite dike, which is about 20 ft thick, is unlike that mined in the Battles stope. Most of it is a medium-grained intergrowth of perthite, quartz, a little muscovite, and biotite. Plagioclase occurs sparingly. Howell states that a promising mica shoot was being mined in the south drift when the workings collapsed.
