About This Claim
Ophy I-V is a package of 5 unpatented placer claims totaling 79.35 acres in the Quartzburg District, Boise Basin, Idaho — sitting between two established historic past-producers, Gold Hill and Mineral Hill, within a porphyry belt that government geologists documented back in the 1930s and 1940s.
Primary and secondary commodities:
Au Gold
Ag Silver
Cu Copper
This is largely untested ground with three distinct exploration targets: the active creek channel and gravels, older bench deposits above the current drainage, and potential rhyolite porphyry or quartz monzonite outcroppings. Known gold, silver, and copper have been documented through recent prospecting and partial assays.
