This mineralization occurs in hundreds of auriferous and telluride-bearing lodes. Little Squaw Creek drains an area cut by many auriferous veins. The island is adjacent to where the highly auriferous Adelong Creek enters the Murrumbidgee. Here a draft of auriferous extraction of some veins was attempted. This basalt has been subjected to biotite-carbonate alteration and auriferous silicification. The island is where the highly auriferous Adelong Creek enters the Murrumbidgee River. Soon thereafter, it was estimated that 130,000,000 yards of auriferous gravel remained to be mined. Columbia, thirty Chinese coins in the auriferous sand, twenty-five feet below the surface. In the adjacent region to the locality there are considerable non auriferous mineral deposits. The auriferous iron sulfide was finely disseminated through the quartz. The basin's lake beds are auriferous. Its auriferous mines were considered the best and the largest in the whole peninsula. The margin of the includes granodiorite and diorite, and most importantly, auriferous quartz veins.
