Gold Butte is a 6,512-foot (1,985-metre) mountain summit located in Toole County, Montana, United States.
[3] Gold Butte is part of the Sweet Grass Hills and ranks as the fourth-highest peak in the range,[1] and second-highest in the county.
Gold Butte is an exposed laccolith composed of diorite porphyry which was created by an igneous intrusion through older Cretaceous sedimentary rocks during the Eocene, about 50 million years ago.
Minor amounts of gold and silver were produced by placer mining in a gulch on the north slope during the late-19th and early-20th centuries.
[6] Mountain Chief, Calf Tail, and Bull Lodge experienced their respective vision quests on Gold Butte.
