Visited the Mariposite site at the intersection of Hwy 132 and 49 yesterday. The exposed Mariposite is in the road cut on the NW side of the intersection and is impossible to miss. (A number of guides mention a roadcut on the SW side of the intersection, but there is no cut present.) Be prepared for some hard rock work (chisels, sledge, etc.) Here’s a tip: there is a lot of fractured Mariposite buried at the foot of the deposit.
