Work History
Staked as ROUGH NECK KID cl (15175) in Jun/27 by T.R. Lambert and explored with an open-cut at the edge of the river.
Capsule Geology
Lenses of limestone in Paleozoic? schists carry streaks and bunches of galena and sphalerite up to 20 cm wide. The mineralization is only exposed during low water levels and a hand trench on the bank, along strike, was unmineralized. A sample of mineralized material assayed 10.0% Pb and 154.3 g/t Ag.
