A Pb-Mo occurrence/prospect with surface and underground workings located in sec. 9, T13S, R12E.
Mineralization is a vein deposit with the ore zone at 1 meter wide, striking N30E and dipping 52E, hosted in andesite. The shear zone is laced with quartz and specular hematite veins to 5 cm and a few relatively clear quartz veinlets to 1-2 cm. Wulfenite coats fractures and also forms masses that look intergrown with porous specular hematite and quartz. An associated rock unit is quartz monzonite.
Local structures include a shear zone.
Workings include 2 adits and a cut.
