A former small surface Cu-Pb-Zn-Ag-Au group of prospects located in SE ¼ sec. 12, T.15S., R.20E & sec. 18, T.15S., R.21E, on state land.
Mineralization is narrow, iron oxide and quartz veins, with weak and spotty copper oxides and carbonates, and minor sulfides (chalcopyrite, galena, sphalerite, and pyrite) cutting Precambrian granodiorite in a thrust fault plane zone. The ore zone is 60.96 meters long and 0.91 meters wide.
Workings are prospects. Some scattered test lots of ore were produced in the late 1920's and early 1930's.
