Burgin Mine - Last mine to be operated on an appreciable
scale on the East Tintic Field.
The principal orebody discovered is a complex replacement deposit that
is localised in the immediate hangingwall of the East Tintic Thrust where
it is intersected by the north-east striking Eureka-Standard and Apex
Standard faults. (Shepard, etal., 1968)
During the Burgin mine's life, approximately 1.8 million tons of ore
were mined
which assayed 8.6 percent lead, 8.5 ounces per ton silver, and 8.7 percent
zinc.*
(Note: at 2005 values, that is: Pd:$85, Ag:$64, Zinc:$115 = $264 per MT)
