Barringer Hill


A Feldspar-fluorspar-Zr-REE-Be-U-Ti-Th-Mo-Pb + Li-Rb-P-Cu-Zn occurrence/mine located 2.3 miles N20W of the Buchanan Dam, 26 km west of Burnet, on formerly private land. Discovered in 1887 by John Baringer. Owned by Nernst Lamp Company (1907). Owned by William E. Hidden. Explored before WWI for Th. Early mining (1907) was for Yt. The earliest mining (1887-1905) was for specimens. Now under about 100 feet of Lake Buchanan water (1938).

Mineralization is a polymetallic deposit hosted in pegmatite. The ore body is 12.19 meters thick, 30.48 meters wide and 76.2 meters long. The pegmatite has a quartz core more than 30 feet in diameter. The pegmatite body contains many vugs lined by smoky quartz crystals weighing up to 1,000 pounds each. Amethyst was also found. Local alteration includes a 5 to 6 foot wide halo in granite around the pegmatite, forming a graphic granite. Associated rocks include a mesoproterozoic granite. Local rocks include .

Workings include open cuts to 40 feet deep in 1907.

Production was some 800 to 1,200 pounds of gadolinite mined by Baringer. The Nernst Lamp Company mined a few 100 pounds per year of REE minerals. Much feldspar was sorted and put on dumps.

There is also a newly discovered nearby pegmatite (see http://www.mindat.org/mesg-17-45976.html).
