Summary

A mineral resource assessment was performed by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) to assess the potential of undiscovered skarn-hosted tungsten resources in the Northern Rocky Mountain region of eastern Idaho and western Montana. This region has seen moderate tungsten trioxide (WO3) production in the past from a variety of mineralization styles including skarn, vein and replacement, and wolframite-quartz veins. The geology of the area is dominated by large plutons of Cretaceous to Tertiary age, emplaced into a belt of sedimentary rock ranging from Mesoproterozoic to Permian age, and affected by tectonism related to the Sevier and later Laramide orogenies. Known tungsten (W) skarn mineral sites are associated with contacts between Cretaceous [...]

Purpose

This assessment was part of a broader USGS effort to identify areas with undiscovered W resource potential in the United States which includes three broad W metallogenic provinces, two of which were delineated by Hobbs and Tooker (1979). Assessments complimentary to this one focused on the Western Great Basin, California and Nevada (Lederer and others, 2021) and the Yukon-Tanana Uplands, Alaska (Case and others, 2022).
