Montana Phosphate Beds Discovered Near Melrose
Montana geologists report a vast phosphate bed near Melrose, about 30 miles southwest of Butte, with an estimated 700 million tons and potential to become the continent’s largest source. The field may extend toward the Canadian line, linking with beds in Idaho and Utah, and promises major mineral wealth as development proceeds.
