Location: The location of this occurrence is only known approximately to be at an elevation of about 950 feet, midway between lakes 43 and 423, northeast of Ford Arm. For this record, the site is plotted 0.5 mile northeast of the center of sec. 25, T. 49 S., R. 59 E.

Geology: Johnson and Karl (1985) map the rocks in the area of this occurrence as Cretaceous(?) phyllite and Cretaceous greenstone. The rocks are cut by steeply-dipping, mainly northwest-striking faults, including the regional-scale Border Ranges Fault whose trace is about 0.5 mile northeast of the occurrence. Bittenbender and others (1999), citing Kimball (1982), describe the occurrence as a disseminated sulfide deposit in chlorite schist, hornfels, chert, and greenstone. Samples contained up to 300 parts per million (ppm) copper and 0.5 ppm silver.
Workings: Only surface sampling.
Commodities (Major) - Ag, Cu
