A group of surface and underground Cu-Pb-Ag-Zn prospects located in the NE¼ sec. 24, T17S, R30E, on National Forest land.
Mineralization is a fault zone up to 4 feet thick consisting of altered limestone; limonitic, clayey gouge. Ore minerals include galena, malachite, pyrite, and sphalerite. Accessory minerals include epidote, hematite, and limonite. The host rock unit is limestone. Assays of 4 samples: the highest metal concentrations were copper 0.23%, lead 7.8%, silver 71 PPM, zinc, 0.40%, and gold 390 PPB.
Workings include three shafts, up to 35 feet deep, a short decline and small pits dug on a fault zone that can be traced intermittently for about 300 feet on the surface. Any production would have been small.
