Commodity: Ore Materials: silver-lead minerals, native gold
Deposit: 1985 UPDATE. PROPERTY IS INACTIVE. MILL EQUIPMENT HAS BEEN DISMANTLED. HECLA MINING CO. TERMINATED ITS INTEREST IN THE PROPERTY IN 1982. GENERAL LOCATION IS ABOUT 2 KM WEST OF EUREKA. DOMAIN IS PRIVATE AND BLM ADMINISTERED. MINING METHOD IS CUT AND FILL. MILL IS LOCATED ON SITE. EQUIPMENT HAS BEEN REMOVED FROM MILL. Eureka deposits are replacement veins, chimneys, irregular masses and bedded deposits in Cambrian limestone along fissures and above a thrust fault in the richest area. Igneous rocks are a small quartz monzonite stock and quartz porphyry dikes of early Cretaceous age; intrusive and extrusive andesite of middle Eocene age; and rhyolite plugs and flows of middle Oligocene age. There are abundant sulfide minerals, but the bulk of the production was from oxidized ores.
Deposit type: Polymetallic replacement
Development: It was reported in 1989 press releases that USSRAM Exploration Company started operations in the Eureka district in January at Project Glister. Mining was by open-pit and included processing of old mine dumps. The mine operated as an open pit gold-silver operation in 1989-1990 employing 12 persons. American Mines states that the property is owned and operated by Sharon Steel Natural Res. but states that Sharon Steel was merged with Mueller Industries, Inc. in Dec. 1990.
Geology: General size of ore body is medium. Ore also controlled by lithology. Strike and dip of ruby hill fault-n40 W 60e.
