OPHIR HILL CONSOLIDATED LEAD~ZINC MINE, TOOELE COUNTY, iJtrAlI1/

By Frank ~_ Widema.n.5.1

INTRODUCTION

The Ophir Hill Consolitiatod mine was oXaminea.,g,1 in January 1944. It

was l~cc(')mmend~ that t..l].e mine be explored for the purpose of increasing'
rOSC1'ves 6f, lead and zinc ore.

The Bureau of Mines began exploratory work at the mine in J'UIle 1944 and
completed it in June 1945- The work was planned to indicate ore that could
be d~veloped and extra.cted quickly and conoisted of core drilling and trench­
ing. .

, ACKNOWLEIG:MENTS

In its program of: 0xplo'!'at1on of' mineral depcsi ts, the Bureau of Mines
has as ,its primaryobjec"tive the more effective utilization of our minsral
rOSO";ll"'ces to the end tha't they', make the greatest 'possible contribution to
national security and economy. It 1s tho policy of tho Bureau to publish
the facts doveloped by each eXploratory project as soon as practicabl:e at'ter
its conclusion. The Mining Branch, Lowell B. Moon, chi of , conducts prelimi­
nary Qxaminations, porf()rms tl10 actual exploratory work, and p;r-opares the
final report. Trio'Me,tallurgical Branch, O. C.Ralston, chief,' analyzes
samples and pcrf~~n:is boneficiation tests. ','

The work reportod on in this paRor was conducted under the supervision
of S. R. Zimmorloy,t regional engineer of the Western Region, and J. A. Marsh,
dist..~ict engineer of tho Utah-\'Tyoming district. Subsequent to May 1945, the
project was under tho s71perYision of Paul T~ Allaman, chief , Salt Lake City
DiVision, Mining Branch. Tho management and employees of the Ophir Develop­
ment Co. wore very cooporativo. Credit is duo to the Buroau ,omployeos, all
local men, for the excellent amount of work accomplished.

HISTOR! ~nD PRODUCTION

Tho Ophir Hill Consolidated mine was discovered in 1870 and was operated
continuously imtil1926. During this period, tho mine produced moro than
1,000,000 tons of are with
, . 'Of $15,060,000 to $20,000,000.

Subsequent to 1926, the International Smelting & Refining Co .. troated

the mill tailing from the former operation.' Zinc, which was detrimental prior
to selective flotation and was wasted in the tailing, was -the principal metal
recovored by the latter milling. ,:, .

The Ophir Development Co. acquired title to the mine in 1932 and has
maintained intermittent small-scale operation.

PHYSICAL FEATURES AND COMMUNICATIONS

The Ophir Hill Consolidated mine is situated in the Ophir muu.ng dis­
trict on the western slope of the Oquirrh Movntains, the range in whlch ,the
Bingham, Mercur, arid stockton mining districts are located (fig. 1). The
portal of the haulage level of the mine is approximately 6,600 feet above
sea level.

The mine is 9 miles east of St. Johns station on the Union Pacific
Railroad by hard-surfaced and graveled highways. The flotation mills and
smelters of Tooele and Salt Lake Valleys are within 75 miles of the mine.

The climate and vegetation are typical of the Basin and Range province
of Utah. The spring, summer, and autumn seasons are mild, and winter is not
severe enough to h8.lU.J?er mining operations. The lower slopes of the moun­
tains are covered by a thick growth of sage brush, pinon pine, and junipers.
The canyons of the upper slopes sustain growths of quaking aspen and coni­
ferous trees. '

Ordinary commodities, gasoline, and telephonic communications are

available at Ophir. Supplies that can not be obtained at Ophir can be pur­
chased at Tooele, Utah, population 3,000, which is 20 miles distant. Salt
Lake City, Utah, 65 miles distant is the jobbing center for mining machinery
and supplies for the intermountain region.

GEOLOGY AND ORE DEPOSITS

The Ophir mining district is near the crest of the northerly trending
Ophir anticline, which plunges both north l;I.tld south ·from Ophir Canyon (f.ig.
2). It passes into the .Pole Canyon syncline to the east and is terminated
against the step faulting along the western flank of the Oquirrh Range. In
Ophir Canyon the anticline is cut by an eastward-trending zone of -branching
faults, the combined displacement of whose sedimentary beds exceeds 2,000
feot. The older rocks of ,the range are seen ,just north of the fault system
in the upthrown block, exposing the Tinticquartz:j..te of Cambrian see. .Tho
Ophir formation,also of Cambri~n age, in which the ore bodies of the Ophir
Hill mino wore formed, lies conformably above tho Tintic quartzite. The
overlying sodimentary"rocks in tlie dist:r1ct are l;i.Iilestone, dolomite, and'
shales of Camprian, Devonian, and Carboniferous ages. Many of these forma­
tions have been productive in the Ophir and other mining districts of the
Oquirrh and Tintic Mountains.

OPHIR' HILL MINE"
OPHIIP~ roOE~E COUNTY, UTAH

Tho Ophir formation is comprisod of several thin beds of limeRtone

separated from one another by relatively thin beds of shalo, which are over­
lain an<;l~unq.erla1n as e. group by shale. From the lowest, in succession
upward, the limestone beds are now called the SlBluo, /I '.'Green," "Red,".
"Yellow," "Orange," "Black," and "Brown," veins or .bechl.ings (fig. 3). James
Gillully2! refers to the beddings as' follows: tho "Blue" and. IIGreen"as the
"Copper, fI tho !IRed" as the "Middle, II and the "Yellow" and If Orange" as the
"Big" veins or beddings. The individual limestones are 5 to 50 feet thick,
and tho entire formation is 250 to· 300 fer;;t thick. Ttto beddings vTith:!,:Q. tho
productive block strike N. 60 0 W. to N. 75° W. and dip 150 to 200 northeast
(fig. 4), except where \,arpod by tho Cliff fault.

A northward-trending dike of rhyolite, known as the Sacramento dike,

passos through the Ophir district w('Jst of the Ophir Hill nUnc. The dike is
uninterl~ptod by faulting in Ophir Canyon and has been traced from a point
south of Ophir Car~on northward to Dry Canyon, whero it~y join other
ignoous masses. The only oth0r igneous bodies observed in the vicinity of
tht! Ophir Rill m:tne arc two dikes of 1ccrsantiteo

Most of the ore produced. from tho bphir Hill prop~rty has boen minod
from a triar~U1ar block 6f. ground ~pproximatoly 2,500 feet in length and
1,400 feot i~ maximumwidth~ Tho blocki~bounded ~y the Canyon fault on
tho south, the GJif:' fault on tho northwos.t, and tho Allred. fissure on the
east. . .

Approximately three-fourths of tho production of tho mine came from

long tongue-shaped roplacement duposi ts formed. at the intor.section of the
limestone boddings of tho Ophir formation and .steeply dipping fissures.
The ::"~t;mainder of the proo.uct1on was milled from roplacoment ore bodies
formed ncar the intorsoction of the Cliff fault zone and tho limestones and,
to a rather limited extent, ~~e shales of the Ophir formation.

The fissures, which strike nearly north-south and dip st~~ply to the
west, have, ceyond any doubt, det~mined the site and. extent of the ore
bodies 'llithin the bed.di:ngs. 'They have been named the West, Miners Delight,
No.1, vTild Delirium, Bowman, Swanson, and Allred fissures (fig. 6). They
are narrow J butdi etinct, 8.:\'ld ar 0 continuous an the dip of the beds for
Imown distances of a :rra:{imum of 1,600 feet. The fissures are traceable
tllrOt!gh the shale and downward into the underlying quartz!to but, !Iith
the eXCi3ption of the Wild Delirium. fissur0, have not been explored in the
overly,::'tng R0nr:Letta forma-;:'ion. In the quartzite and shales the fissures
vary in thiclnLoss from knifa edges to a few inches, and the fissure filling
is dissimilar to the ore formed in lime.stones and consists chiefly of
pyrrhotite, chalcopyrite, and tennantite. So far as 1s known the fissures
terminate to .the north against a fault of some :r.uagnitude lmown a.s the Cliff ­
fault.

R.I. 4072

There are few faults of any consequence except the Canyon and Cliff
faults, which are considered to be premineral. The Canyon fault and its
branches strike eastward and have a combined vertical displacement of about
2,000 feet. The downthrown block is to the south. The Cliff fault strikes
N. 20 0 E. and dips 50 0 to 60 0 easterly. The fault is normal and displaces
the beds about 250 foet. A nearly vertical-dipping fault known as the Big
fault strikes east-west. It cuts the beds about 300 feet down the dip from
their outcrop and has a displacement to tho north of 40 feet. A number of
steeply dipping parallel faults havingthrowa of as much as 5 feet also cut
the beddings. The northward trending fissures pass through these faults
without displacement. The ore bodies were enlarged near the intersection
of the fissures and faults.

'mE ORE

The oro, primarily a hard sulfide lead-zinc-silver ore, is similar in

character in all ~~e productive beddings. The pyrite content is sufficient
to offset most of the silica in smelting.

The aver~e analyses of the ore produced from 1897 to 1926 follows:

Ore

Tons Ag, oz/ton
Porcent
Pb 1 Cu

Shipping'••• 204,961 ! 10.94 I lCl.14 i 1.30
, 4"
No records are available as to the zinc content of the ore, as ziric
was a detrimental metal at that time. By comparison with the ore mined
sinco 1926, it is estimated that the ratio of zinc to load was about 0.66
to 1. The llLi..ning of shale partings, especially between the ":Blue" and'
"Groentt limestones, resulted in loworing the gradE;:.of the mill are.

The ore-producod sinco 1926 ha.,s been mined by selective methods and
averaged 9.9 ounces silver, 9.0 percent lead, 7.0 percent zinc, and 1.2 per­
cent copper.

Open inclined stoping methods are used in' ore extraction. The country
rock, consisting of metamorphosed limestone and shale, is hard and rOlluires
little or no support by timbering or filling.

The ore is shipped to the mills or smel:ters of -the. International

Smelting & Refining Co., Tooele, Utah, or tho American Smelting & Refining
Co. at Midvale, Utah. These plants are within 75 milos of the mine.

MINE WORKINGS

Tho mine is workod through an electrified haulage 16vel, and through

several thousand feet of drifts and inclined winzes. The lowest workings
of the mino are approximately 400 foot bolow the haulago or 1,000 levol.

BUREAU OFMINESmLDBATION

The Bureau of Mines project at the Dphir Hill mine was begun in; June 191~4
and ~ded in June 1945. The exploration was plarned to investigate possible
ore cccurrences that could be developed and minec. quickly for war uses. .

The exploratory work consisted of drilling 165 core-drill holes from

underground stations (figs. 5A to 5J, incl.). The depths of the holes ranged
from 11 to 180 feet. The total distance drilled was 8,537 feet. An average
of 19.055 :oet per drHl shift w'as attained. No cementing or casing was
necessary. Approximately 1,720 feet of trenching along favorable outcrops was
done bymechanic13:1 and hand .methods. All ore-bear1r..g and mineraliied sections
of core from :the drilling wa..s submitted to the Salt Lake City Division, Metal­
lurgical Branch, for analysis.

No metallurgical testing of the ores was done as the are is amenable to

at mills and. smulters in tho vicinity of the mine.
trea·~nJ.(}nt
,
In general, the Ophir formation at the Ophir Hill mlne is of such charac­
ter tha~ core drilling results in good core recovory and low diamond costs.

Bocause of the crushod 9 (lTIdition of the rocks in the vicinity of the

Cliff fault, core recovery was less and diamond cost more. than in ather parts
01' tho minco Because of the abrasive nature of the quartzite, tho diamond
cost for drilling it was lUgher than for any of the rocks penetrated, but the
core recovery was v0ry good •.
