Brown ore outcrops along the crests and upper slopes of two low hills situated on either side of the county road running north from Leora.
The outcrops are particularly prominent on the Lovesy and Kimmel properties. The ore consists of cellular, primary limonite, containing sand and chert. The cavities are often lined with goethite. The hills are capped with Tertiary gravels.
Similar ore outcrops along the ridge northwest of the Kimmel property. It is underlain at this point with cotton rock.
Givens, 1 1/2 miles to the northwest, is the nearest shipping point.
