A surface and underground Sr prospect located in the NE¼ sec. 20, T17S, R31E.
Mineralization at the shaft is limestone and igneous porphyry rock on the dump with minor disseminated pyrite. At the open cut, highly oxidized, altered, brecciated limestone, hematite, manganese stains, and notable strontium is present.
Workings include a shaft, an open cut, and an adit. The shaft measured 61 feet deep and is adjacent to the open cut, which is about 20 feet in diameter with a connecting 12 foot adit. It is unlikely that there was any production.
