Discussion

THE ORE BODY HAS A MAXIMUM THICKNESS OF 45 FT AND AVERAGES BETWEEN 20 TO 30 FT. THE ION MEMBER, SPECHTS FERRY MEMBER, AND THE GUTTENBERG MEMBER ARE PARTS OF THE DECORAH FM.

Mine Data/Information

Mine Data

Production statistics

Year	1920
Period	1919-20
Material	JIG CONC
Accuracy	Accurate
Description	Cp_Grade: ^Ave 30 Percent Zn And 21 Percent Fe.
Importance	Item	Commodity	Group	Amount recovered	Grade	Recovery percentage
Conc.	Iron	Iron		21wt-pct
Major	Conc.	Zinc	Zinc		30wt-pct

Reserves and resources

Type	In-situ
Estimate year	1920
Total resources	45,000mt ore
Commodity	Subtype	Grade	units	Group	Importance	Year
Zinc	Zn	6.5	wt-pct	Zinc	Major	1920
Iron	Fe	10.5	wt-pct	Iron	Minor	1920

IN 1946 THE USBM EXTENDED THE ORE BODY BY DRILLING. CONSIDERABLE TONNAGES OF ORE REMAINS AT THE MINE AT THE N AND W SIDES AND BELOW THE PRESENT (1959) FLOOR. ORE MAY BE PRESENT ALSO TO THE S AND E.

Workings at the site

Type of workings	Underground
Name of workings	SHAFT

A SHAFT WAS SUNK ON THE EAST EDGE OF THE ORE BODY.

ECON.COM: DRILLING N OF THE MINE AFTER IT CLOSED REVEALED THE PRESENCE OF ADDITIONAL ORE.
