An Fe occurrence/prospect located in secs. 29 & 32, T10N, R15E, about 13 miles NE of Young.
Mineralization is a replacement deposit with an irregular ore body. The ore zone is 91.44 meters long and 6.1 meters thick, and is hosted in limestone. An associated rock unit is diabase.
The deposit should be considered part of the hematite mineralization of a great area of the Precambrian Mescal Limestone by contact-metamorphic processes associated with widespread invasion by great diabase intrusions.
A character sample contained 51.8% Fe, 0.1% Mn, 0.4% titania, 0.34% P, 0.10% S, and 21.0% silica.
Workings: This property has been developed by a few shallow open pits and cuts. No production as of 1961.
