The district dates back to the 1860s\, when a red streak of material was discovered in brecciated limestone on a near by hill. High-grade oxidized lead-zinc-silver sulfides were uncovered and found to carry gold. Into the early 20th century\, numerous nearby depos its were discovered and developed. The area grew.\n\n\nDuring the Depress ion and the run-up to WWII\, production faltered\, although lead producti on was considered a critical industry during the war\, production continu ed. After WWII\, a consortium of four mining companies closed ranks to bu ild the FAD Shaft. In 1948\, an exploratory lateral drift from the FAD Sh aft penetrated a fault and tapped an unknown aquifer. Despite the constru ction of groundwater 'vault' doors and numerous bulkheads\, all counter-m easures failed and the mine flooded catastrophically.\n\n\nIn the early 1 970s\, an entirely different type of gold deposit was discovered. 'Carlin -type' gold deposits\, which are gold occurrences where the gold itself i s anionic and invisible to the human eye. The FAD Shaft is situated at th e intersection of two highly-productive ore models\; carbonate replacemen t deposits and Carlin-type deposits.\n\n\nMatt Rhoades is a Certified Pro fessional Geologist (CPG) with nearly 40 years of professional experience . He obtained his BS in Geology from UMKC\, an MS in Structural Geology f rom Washington State University and an MBA from the University of Phoenix \, Denver. His experience covers groundwater resources and mining. He has worked primarily in the western U.S.\, but also in South America\, Mexic o and Canada. He is the former state geologist for New Mexico. He was mos t recently the president and CEO of United Battery Metals Corp.\, a junio r Canadian mining company developing vanadium resources on the Colorado P lateau. He is currently the national president-elect (2022) for the Ameri can Institute of Professional Geologists (AIPG).\n\n\nThe express purpose of his presentation is to provide a student-focused\, learning experienc e. It is the intent to deliver real-world experiences to add perspective\ , amplify\, and supplement the academic experience. The notable themes of economic geology\, structural geology\, hydrogeology\, environmental geo logy and GIS will be woven through the project discussion.
