Per Bedrock Geology of Rosiclare Quadrangle Hardin County, Illinois (2011) by F. Brett Denny, W.J. Nelson, E. Munson, J.A. Devera, and D.H. Amos: "The Martin mine was operated by Rosiclare Lead and Fluorspar Company and is a series of pits and one shaft. The pits are aligned in a north 20° east direction which (Weller et al, 1920) assumed was the trend of the vein. The general trend of the bedrock observed here was north 37° east dipping 80° northwest. The Austin Mine lies along the major northeast trending fault southwest of the Martin Mine. The Interstate Prospect shaft lies south of the Martin Mine. The Interstate Prospect Shaft is at least 30 feet deep and moderately fractured sandstone with clear fluorite veins were observed. The major fractures appear to parallel the northeasterly major fault zone. These prospects are located in an extremely complicated tectonic zone where several fault zones converge. Several additional prospect pits were observed along this fault zone."
