The property’s gold endowment attracted attention as far back as 1927, when the Jackson-Manion Consolidated Mines discovered gold along the eastern margin of the claim block which they mined from 1934 to 1940. The mine produced approximately 27,146 ounces of gold and 18,300 ounces of silver at an average grade of 0.258 ounce/ton Au during several years of operation (Parker & Atkinson, 1992). The focus of the mine was gold in quartz veins associated with mafic volcanic rocks. In the 80 years since, the project was explored sporadically, and mineral title changed hands several times. Most of the later work focused on the area around the historic Jackson-Manion mine. However, there are three other gold occurrences on the Dent-Jackson property that remain underexplored.
