There are three core splits in this set. Each split represents a different interval of diamond drill hole #1: at 182 ft, 334 ft, and 418 ft. I believe these splits represent one of the ten holes drilled by Noranda in 1974 after discovery in 1967. Good geological work and surface sampling enabled the discovery of the deposit. Goat Creek is a large, deep low grade Molybdenum deposit with skarn mineralization, including tungsten. Mineralization was in the Belt strata of the Wallace Formation and within a highly differentiated, non-outcropping Tertiary pluton (J. E. Worthington of the Idaho Geological Survey). The core shows good mineralization of Molybdenite and Pyrite in Quartz veining.
