Structure: Flat And Low-Dipping Faults Offset Veins Minnie Moore Ore Shoot Bottoms In A Breccia Mass. Faulted Nw Trending Anticline
Commodity: Ore bodies occur As separate lenses along the veins. The two mines are developed on extensions of the same veins.
Deposit: The minnie moore vein is in argillitic rocks of the milligen formation close to several limestone members a short distance under a sill-like body of diorite. Main ore body cut by minnie moore fault-offset. Ore has not been found although explored for extensively
Development: Mine was closed in 1970. Records of latter years development and production incomplete. . A 1968 ddh at silver star queens indicates that the vein continues down dip 1000 ft. 20 patented and 20 unpatented claims.
