A Cu occurrence/prospect located in the SW¼ sec. 34, T12S, R14E, at an elevation of 3340 feet.
Mineralization is quartz veins cross-cutting foliation with oxidized sulfides and Cu silicates in veins & replacing biotitic gneiss. Gneiss host here may be the Pioneer Formation (?). Alteration is propylitic epidote. The ore body strikes N50E and dips about 90 degrees.
