The Tobacco Root Mine is a documented mineral property located in the Norris mining district of Madison County, Montana.
Featuring
The deposit was originally discovered in the early 1860s.
Two cross-cut adits were driven into the NW trending deposit during early production.
In 1985 the mine was sold to Gulf Titanium Ltd. of British Columbia for Titanium exploration.
Production and exploration continued until 1990 when the company seemingly moved all interests to Canada.
The deposit is primarily cretaceous volcanic rock, with mineral intrusions of limonite, quarts, and galena.
Unfortunately, all records from the Bureau of Mines regarding development were lost upon government defunding in 1993.
A small mine dump is located on the upper adit portal, as well as a secondary tailings pile near the old mill.
An estimated combined amount of 2000 yards of a mineralized spill is located on the property.
Mine spill is comprised of the local volcanic host rock and low-to-mid-grade ore.
Located on a maintained dirt road, accessible by any higher clearance vehicle during the warmer months.
Accessible by Snowmobile in the Winter Months.
Pole Creek runs through the claim, with over six hundred feet of accessible w

- Primary lode workings consist of two caved crosscut adits from the original development. The top and larger of the adits are estimated to have been driven over twelve hundred feet into the deposit. With the lower adit seemingly a prospect, with estimated underground workings of 300'-to-500' feet on a single level drift.
- Any underground exploration will require overburden in the estimated amount of 10-20 yards removed from the portal faces.
- Estimated Hardrock deposit values are 0.85-to-3.5 opt Au(Gold), 3.2-to-6.1 opt Ag (Silver), base metals, and rare earth elements in trace amounts.
