Paragenesis Of The Primary Ores Of The Norwich Mine, Edward E. Scheitlin
Paragenesis Of The Primary Ores Of The Norwich Mine, Edward E. Scheitlin
Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970
The Norwich vein is thought to belong to the Anaconda vein system. It contains fairly large deposits of manganese. The study of 19 thin sections and 15 polished sections was made to determine the paragenesis of the vein minerals, which is: quartz-pyrite, rhodochrosite, quartz, minor rhodochrosite, quartz-pyrite-sphalerite, galena, freibergite and later quartz. Some supergene rhodochrosite was found and most of the silver minerals were found to be supergene origin.
Oxidized Copper Mineralization Along The Continental Fault Near Butte, Montana, Theodore H. Eyde
Oxidized Copper Mineralization Along The Continental Fault Near Butte, Montana, Theodore H. Eyde
Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970
Located in the fault zone of the Continental fault near the western edge of Boulder batholith of southwestern Montana the oxidized copper deposits are developed by three open pit mines, one of which is a presently in operation. Copper has been deposited by descending cold solutions which have leached copper from the surrounding quartz monzonite and deposited within the crushed fault zone. Local high grade 'bunches' of ore occur along narrow limonite veins, remnants of primary sulfide veins which have been enriched by the descending cold solutions.
Uranium Occurrences In The Pacific Northwest, Charles Van Alstine
Uranium Occurrences In The Pacific Northwest, Charles Van Alstine
Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970
Uranium prospecting and production in the United States have been largely concentrated in the southwestern states, especially the plateau region of Utah, Colorado, Arizona and New Mexico. However, even with meager prospecting, numerous occurrences of uranium materials have been found in the Pacific northwest. These occurrences are in rooks ranging in age from pre-Cambrian Belt series to Tertiary volcanics and lake beds.
Geology Of An Area Near Montana City, Montana, Frank A. Crowley
Geology Of An Area Near Montana City, Montana, Frank A. Crowley
Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970
The investigated area lies about five miles south of Helena, Montana, near the abandoned gold camp of Montana City. Topographically, the area reflects the sedimentary formations and the igneous rocks, quartz monzonite and rhyolite. Static recrystallization of the sedimentary rocks caused by the intrusion of the Boulder Batholith, along with deformation of sedimentary beds by pre-batholithic folding and by post-batholithic faulting have complicated the geologic picture.
The Placer Deposits Of The Siberia District (German Gulch), Montana, Ronald D. Karvinen
The Placer Deposits Of The Siberia District (German Gulch), Montana, Ronald D. Karvinen
Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970
The original concept of this problem was to determine if hidden or buried placers existed past the terminal point of the extensive placering in the Siberia District. Several theories have been advanced for the sudden cessation of those placers. All are plausible, and are both for and against an extended placer. The past history relates that some $13,000,000 in gold has been produced in the area, therefore stressing a practical search for additional accumulation.
Geology Of A Mineralized Breccia "Pipe" Near Basin, Montana, James W. Allan
Geology Of A Mineralized Breccia "Pipe" Near Basin, Montana, James W. Allan
Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970
Located on the western flank of the Boulder batholith of southwestern Montana, the mineralized breccia "pipe" is opened by the Obelisk Mine. The intersection of two fault systems in the quartz monzonite of the Boulder batholith has provided the locus of the breccia "pipe". There is fairly conclusive evidence indicating that the present outcrop of the "pipe" lies only a few hundred feet below the former "roof" of the batholith.
