Abstract
Summary
A body of complexly segregated igneous rock has been intruded into sediments at an early period in the earth's history. The segregations include a dioritic phase and a magnetite-ilmenite bearing ore phase in the area discussed.
During much later times, the Miocene Mint Canyon formation was deposited on the west of the igneous body and in turn has been covered by old alluvium in places that has originated in the mountain block composed of the intrusion
Economic Considerations
The bodies of ilmenite bearing ore should be carefully sampled and assayed to determine the percentage of titanium that can be obtained from the ore. The bodies promise sufficient tonnage and accessibility to be developed economically wit a moderate titanium content that is not too variable.
