Princeton Gulch Group
The company controls unpatented claims that cover and surround the Princeton Gulch placer in Granite County in western Montana. The claim group consists of 4 unpatented placer claims covering 80 acres and 2 unpatented lode claims covering 40 for a total of 120 acres.
High grade silica quartzite
This claim group lies in mountainous terrain on the east slope of the Deerlodge range. The country rocks are folded and faulted marbles, phyllites and quartzites of Jurassic/Cretaceous age. The Royal stock outcrops less than 1 mile east of this claim group. The metamorphism is a result of the emplacement of the Royal stock and other nearby stocks and batholiths.
The claims host placer deposits within 18” of bedrock along the floor of the gulch. The load claims could potentially host fissure veins found and exploited on adjacent claims and properties.
Exploration History
The claims have been worked sporadically by small scale owner/operators for a number of years. The claims have only been placer mined in the valley bottom. No additional exploration work has been done. The Princeton mining district has had several past producers, both lode and placer in the late 1800’s and first half of the 1900’s.
