The Shoshone Group is located in the St. Joe Mining District of eastern Shoshone County, Idaho along the Montana border. The property covers several prospect pits and other historic mine workings within this region. The Shoshone Group was the subject of considerable interest and speculation in the early 1980’s as Anaconda Minerals drilled the property. Surface outcrop, including a vein structure 7,000 feet long and up to 80 feet wide, along with “enormous geological anomalies” shown in soil and vegetation sampling by the USGS, led geologists to believe that substantial silver mineralization might be found at depth.

Claim Geology
The rocks in the claim group belong to the Precambrian lower Wallace formation, consisting of light grey dolomitic quartzite inter-bedded with greenish-grey argillites. Ripple marks and mud cracks are visible on bedding surfaces. Tertiary-aged diabase dikes intrude the rocks.

The claim group is located within a fault block bounded by the Osburn Fault to the north and the Placer Creek Fault to the south, and covers three vein structures known as the Champion, Helena and Like Veins. The Champion Vein extends from the Springfield Mine to the Bullion Mine six miles to the east, passing through both the Shoshone and Bullion properties.
